Folks say they’d ‘give their firstborn’ for this rare Frank Lloyd Wright house. See why
It’s not too often you see a home designed by world famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright go up for sale — and even less so when that specific home has never before been listed on the real estate market.
That’s the case for this particular house that was crafted by the late architect in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, and is now listed for $725,000.
“One of Frank Lloyd Wright’s largest Usonian homes is on the market for the first time in its history,” the listing on Zillow.com says. “Designed in 1954, the house features six bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms in 4,978 square feet, located on a bluff of a ravine that overlooks the Root River, Colonial Park and Racine CC.”
The home is classic FLW with its picture-perfect views and vast great room that’s “cantilevered above the ravine emphasizing the continuity between interior and exterior.”
The simplistic beauty of the home managed to grab the attention of fans of Zillow Gone Wild, a popular Facebook and Twitter page that admires unique homes on the market.
“Frank Lloyd Wright’s work always captivated me,” one person said. “I’m curious what he might design today if he were alive.”
“In a heartbeat I’d move there,” another commented. “FLW has always been one of my favorite architects.”
“I would give my first born for a FLW!!!” someone joked.
“I love FLW homes,” one person said. “This one looks to be in great condition. I hope the next owner is a good steward of this fantastic home and property.”
“Modern is not really my style but I love this,” someone commented.
“I would totally move to WI for a Frank Lloyd Wright home,” another noted.
“I wouldn’t change a single thing,” one person said.
“Who wants to pool their income and buy this house with me and a few more friends?” someone tweeted.
Mount Pleasant is about 25 miles south of downtown Milwaukee.
