Gateway to Door County: A Mid-Century Modern Wisconsin Masterpiece Secured Below Asking

Architectural Gem Secured! Mid-Century Modern Home by a Frank Lloyd Wright Apprentice in Door County’s Neighbor

A Visionary Home Gets a New Chapter

I am thrilled to share the news about a truly unique property I was able to secure for my clients: the stunning riverfront home in Two Rivers, WI!

This isn’t just another house; it’s a piece of architectural history—a captivating mid-century modern design built in 1963 by John Bloodgood Schuster, a confirmed disciple of the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright.

A Connection to the Master: John Bloodgood Schuster

The Two Rivers area is famous among architecture enthusiasts for Frank Lloyd Wright’s Still Bend/Schwartz House nearby, and now, my clients own a home with a direct line to that legacy.

John Bloodgood Schuster took the principles of Wright’s organic architecture—a focus on natural materials, horizontal lines, and harmony between the structure and its environment—and poured them into this magnificent 4,936 sq. ft. home.

• Architectural Heritage: Designed by an apprentice to one of the greatest American architects.
• Mid-Century Modern Vibe: Features like the extensive original wood paneling, large windows, and an incredible riverfront setting make this a rare find.
• Riverfront Tranquility: The home sits on 1.62 acres right on the East Twin River, offering breathtaking, peaceful views.

While the home retains its historic charm, it’s a perfect candidate for a thoughtful, modern update. My clients see the potential to lovingly restore and refresh this gem, bringing its classic design into the 21st century while honoring Schuster’s original vision.

The Deal: A Win for Vision and Value

In this competitive market, getting a good deal requires strategy, tenacity, and local expertise. I am incredibly proud to say I negotiated a significant discount for my clients from the original list price!

The Takeaway: This acquisition proves that with the right agent, you can secure unique, high-value properties—even those with significant architectural pedigree—without overpaying. It’s about knowing the market, understanding the property’s potential, and negotiating fiercely. A house that needs updating can translate into tremendous equity and an opportunity to create your custom dream home!

Location, Location, Location: Gateway to Door County Adventures

One of the most exciting features of this property is its phenomenal location. While Two Rivers is in Manitowoc County, it sits at the perfect launching point for all the adventures the peninsula has to offer.

Forget the peak-season traffic; this home offers the peace of a quiet riverfront setting with Door County’s renowned attractions just a short, scenic drive away!

• Door County Exploration: Easily access Sturgeon Bay, Algoma, and the beautiful southern Door County towns.
• Local Charm: Enjoy all the attractions of Two Rivers, including Point Beach State Forest, Neshotah Beach on Lake Michigan, and the historic Rogers Street Fishing Village.
• Waterfront Lifestyle: The riverfront setting is perfect for kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying a tranquil sunset from your own deck.

This sale was more than just a transaction; it was about connecting my clients with a piece of Wisconsin history and an incredible opportunity. Congratulations to the new owners—I can’t wait to see the next chapter for this architecturally significant riverfront retreat!
