A midcentury Fox Point home featuring panoramic views of Lake Michigan and an open floor plan is for sale for $2.15 million
A midcentury home with panoramic views overlooking Lake Michigan is listed for sale for $2.15 million in Fox Point.
Designed by renowned architect Russell Barr Williamson, the home, at 6810 N. Barnett Lane, features more than 5,000 square feet with an updated open floor plan, according to First Weber Realtors.
Built in 1959, the home features walls of windows providing stunning views of Lake Michigan. Included in the home are five bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one half bathroom. The primary suite on the first floor was redesigned in 2012 with custom tilework and a professional closet system.
Taxes for the home were $44,473 in 2021. The homeowners are selling due to relocation after originally purchasing it in 2017, said Lauren Siegel of First Weber Relators.
"This is a one-of-a-kind Russell Barr Williamson," Siegel said. "It's truly a piece of artwork."
A kitchen renovation in 2004 included the removal of some walls to enhance the lake views and the addition of custom cabinetry.
All full bathrooms were also completely remodeled, including new flooring, vanities and showers in 2012.

Williamson started his career with Frank Lloyd Wright. He spent the first two decades of his career designing homes along Lake Drive in Whitefish Bay. By the 1950s, he had turned to a midcentury modern design.
