The FLW homes here flip often so if you want one move wait a couple years and they are only 10% above an equivalent home.

we have one in west lafayette. these homes were designed a long time ago so many things we take for granted now were not considered then. kitchens for example were often miniscule, designed to be used by hired help. some like the one here were designed to be inexpensive. the man who owns the one here built it a long time ago on a professor's salary when they made relatively less than now. his wife is gone but he is well at about 93, and is setting up a fund to perpetuate his home as a museum. it is really nice. but the kitchen isnt much bigger than my pantry!
