Frank Lloyd Wright didn’t build any houses in Dayton, Ohio — but after seeing this home, you might start to wonder if he had a kooky younger brother who dabbled in modern architecture.
This six-bedroom property, listed at $949,900, looks more like a planetarium than a home, and features a flat roof and circular holes cut into the side of the building. Located at 5887 Batsford Drive in Dayton, the property is filled with unusual features, from an indoor water fountain to diner-like interior glass-block partitions.
“You almost feel like you’re in Beverly Hills,” said the listing broker, Re/Max Realtor Jill Aldineh. “It does stand out in a town that has so many traditional two-story homes and ranches.”
Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Homayoun Mesghali and his wife Parveen Mesghali custom built the 7,700-square-foot mansion in 1986 to accommodate Parveen’s mother and the couple’s three children.
The house has a three-story, custom-made Italian chandelier made of Murano glass. Two smaller versions of the chandelier hang in the dining room and the lobby. The chandelier looks over a large spiral staircase comprised of three pieces fabricated in Texas. And at the bottom of the staircase is a huge indoor water fountain made of imported Italian tile.

“My favorite item in the house [is] the two-story sunroom off the kitchen. Sitting out there is fun because you don’t need a heater, and it’s pretty warm,” said Parveen, who said that she and her husband designed the house with plenty of windows and seven skylights to allow for natural light.

Without experience building residential buildings, Tabrizian built half of the house up to commercial standards using metal beams, said Parveen.
“We wanted something modern,” she said Parveen. “It’s a little unusual in the middle of Dayton, but we survived.”
The Mesghalis are selling the house to retire near their children in California. The home was re-listed on December 3 with a $45,000 haircut from its original $995,000 listing price in August.
