Real estate is local and home values vary widely across the country. So, it is interesting to take a look at what $1,075,000 can buy in terms of real estate in different parts of the U.S., and here we go….
A First Weber listing in Wisconsin being sold for $1,079,000 is featured in the New York Time’s article comparing real estate being sold for $1,075,00 across the country. The Wisconsin home has some special things about it to set it apart.
The Wisconsin listing is on the Nationa Register of Historic Places in Madison in the University Heights Historic District
Named the Charles Edwin Buell house, or also Buell’s Folly, the home sits high on a hill in one of Madison’s most distinguished residential neighborhoods which was once on the outskirts of town: University Heights. The city has grown up around this area, with Camp Randal stadium nearby. The subdivision, platted in 1893, is noted for homes of architectural significance. In fact, across the street from this featured listing is the Edward C. Gilmore house built by Frank Lloyd Wright.
