What the Listing Agent Says:

The Ben Rose Home-site of the famous movie 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off', cantilevered over the ravine, these two steel and glass buildings, which can never be duplicated, have incredible vistas of the surrounding woods. This is a unique property designed by A. James Speyer and David Haid, both notable architects of the 20th Century. Estate Sale Sold 'As Is' No disclosures! This is an amazing architectural treasure.

     What Big Time Listings says:

Built in 1953 and located at 370 Beech Street in Highland Park, Ill., the 5,300-square-foot, contemporary-style house was designed by architects A. James Speyer and David Haid. Features in the one-story house include four bedrooms, four full baths, a fireplace, and a three-car garage, according to public records and listing information. Outdoor features on the approximately 0.75-acre property include the auto pavilion, where Cameron Frye famously used his foot to send his father’s rare 1961 Ferrari 250 GT crashing out the window and down into the ravine, over which the pavilion is cantilevered.

New List Price, 5/30/09

$3,487,000

Paradise Valley, Arizona

    

     Artfully updated on the North slope of Camelback Mountain. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms down, two bedrooms, two and a half baths up. Located within the gates of the Sanctuary Resort, and can be rented through the resort. There is a LARGE master suite with sitting room with wet bar, bedroom with fireplace, his and her closets, lavish bath with seperate shower and tub; outdoor bathtub and secluded box hot tub. The other upstairs bedroom is currently furnished with two queen size beds, and has  Northern views.

     What works for this property is the location, views and style. What doesn't work are the downstairs bedrooms and the many strange level changes, no pool, small outdoor space, lack of parking, no elevator, and the cheap box hot tub.(And the rock floor of the master shower, OUCH!) A visual pleasure to see, and perfect for a stay in the valley of the sun that doesn't last longer than a month. An excellent full time residence for someone willing to customize the proprty.

What the Listing Agent Says:
