A
rare Michigan home designed by Minoru Yamasaki, the architect behind New York City's original World Trade Center, has been listed for $2.89 million. Built in 1957, this 3,700-square-foot ranch-style house features six bedrooms and three bathrooms on a 2.64-acre lot.

    Yamasaki's signature modernist style is evident in the home's flat roof, expansive windows, and open layout, which showcases clean lines and understated elegance. The property has been owned by Sameer Eid, a restaurateur behind popular Detroit-area eateries, since 1988. He cherishes its simplicity and tranquility, describing it as "perfect, easy living."

    The home sits in a sought-after area where new development is booming, making it an attractive option for buyers looking to preserve Yamasaki's design or potentially build a new estate. The property could also appeal to those who want to capitalize on the growing trend of tearing down mid-century homes for new construction.

    Eid has fond memories of the home, particularly its backyard, which once boasted over 50 trees, including a centuries-old oak tree believed to be the oldest in Oakland County. Although the tree fell after years of decay, Eid still considers it a loss. The property is listed by Dylan Tent of Signature Sotheby's International Realty.
