Affordable MCM in Jacksonville, FL - 1,705 sqft. ($169,000)
This home by architect George Fisher was built in 1959. Classic post and beam construction with plenty of natural light from big windows. The original tile flooring looks to be in great shape and the price is very reasonable.

Lakefront E. Fay Jones in Heber Springs, AR - 4,022 sqft. ($595,000)
This big home situated on a lake in Arkansas isn't attributed to architect E. Fay Jones in the listing, but it's very likely one of his designs. E. Fay Jones was an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright who lived and worked in Arkansas, putting him in the right location. This lakefront MCM home boasts some of the architect's signatures, such as the ceiling details and repeated vertical slats on the balconies. This 1969 home offers amazing lakefront views and two levels of deck to enjoy them.

Mid Century Church Turned Home in Benton, IL - 5,500 sqft. ($275,000)
It's abundantly clear from first glance that this is no ordinary home. The roof, which boasts curved laminated beams, is not what you might find in a traditional residence. The building was once a church, but has been transformed into a mid-century modern masterpiece that you can call home. Built in 1965, the home features dramatic soaring ceilings, lots of square footage and a great loft level. As a former church, you can also expect lots of glass and light. This is far from cookie-cutter!
