“Located in the prestigious Parkwyn Village, this 1950 Usonian gem is a testament to Wright’s genius. Step into a sanctuary of timeless elegance where every detail reflects Wright’s innovative vision.”
The three bedroom, 2 ½ bathroom home is remarkably preserved and carries a distinct “Mad Men” vibe throughout its 2,469 square feet. Amenities, per the listing, include:

“The unique geometric patterns and the use of natural materials throughout the home exemplify meticulous craftsmanship, making this residence a living work of art,” the listing notes.
The home also has a rare two lots.
“It’s the only Frank Lloyd Wright home in the community that has two lots,” listing agent Fred Taber tells Realtor. “It’s the most private setting of all the houses. It’s like you’re leaving the city, and within 100 yards, you’re in the country.”
