A rare, near century-old home built by Detroit businessman Ephraim "Ed" Frischkorn, the developer behind Dunedin Isles and Dunedin Golf and Country Club, is now for sale.
Located at 236 San Salvador Dr., the fully restored Spanish Revival estate is a local rarity, since it's just one of 11 built by Frischkorn in the early-1920s.
The 3,258-square-foot home comes with four bedrooms and three bedrooms, and features original refinished hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, Cuban tile, a wood-burning fireplace, a courtyard, and a private patio overlooking St. Joseph Sound, says the listing.
Dunedin Isles, where the home is located, was developed between 1925-1929 by Frischkorn, who is arguably best known for the home he built for himself, the "Kellogg Mansion." Frischkorn built the now demolished home on Buena Vista Drive in 1925 as his personal estate, and later sold it later to its most famous owner, cereal tycoon W.K. Kellogg.
According to property records, this particular Frischkorn home was last purchased in 2012 for $394,000, and is currently asking $1.3 million. The listing agent is Jake Yencarelli of Keller Williams Realty.
