Located on 2 acres with 163 feet of lakefront on Cass Lake, a popular all-sports lake, this five-bedroom, seven-bath residence recently dropped from its original listing price of $11,999,000. The property is listed by Jeff Barker and Matthew Barker of Max Broock Realtors in Birmingham.
Robert Lipson, the owner, purchased 4790 Dow Ridge Road in Orchard Lake after searching for lakefront real estate.
“I’ve always thought architecture was special,” Lipson said, explaining his admiration for Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs. “I fell in love with that type of architecture.”
