An historic East Lansing house is for sale. What makes the 'Michigan Modern' home special?

Readers should avail themselves of the 3D tour found on the realtor's (sorry, I've lost faith) site, to fully grasp the path up the stair to the second-floor living quarters. I don't think Wright himself ever crafted a more delightful spiral ascension; could an indoor climb offer a richer reward ? The goals---a dining room exposed on three sides, and a living room aerie also overlooking the street while sharing much borrowed space at the front of the house---perfectly illustrate our friends Prospect and Refuge, situated in an otherwise ordinary suburban setting.

That's one of the weirdest front elevations I've ever seen. At first I thought a bunch of plywood was nailed over some upstairs windows.
