5 Fascinating Homes for Fans of Frank Lloyd Wright Available Now
Realtor.com
If you’re a fan of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, you might be frustrated by the scarcity of his iconic works.
At the moment, there is only one Wright-designed home available in the country. Located in Central California, it’s listed for $4,250,000.
But if you’re interested in a home built by one of Wright’s students, you’re in luck. His students have spread out across the U.S. and created some swell dwellings.
We found five homes that were designed (or claim to have been done) by architects Wright mentored. See if you can spot some of Wright’s signature elements in these unusual abodes.
They’re the next best thing to a home created by the iconic architect himself. And the properties are offered at a range of price points.

17922 Hilltop Dr, Grey Forest, TX
Price: $1,390,000
Lone Star retreat: This getaway in Texas Hill Country is small in size but packs a big design punch.
The cozy one-bedroom, one-bath, 870-square-foot home designed by a protege bears many of Wright’s signature trademarks, including walls of windows, an open floor plan, natural wood accents, and exposed beams.
It sits on a 2-acre lot, so there’s plenty of room for a pool, koi ponds, grape arbors, and fruit trees. Plus, there’s an income-generating cabin on the property.

Bayfront East Coast compound: This waterfront property on West Neck Harbor was originally designed by Wright’s disciple Bertrand Goldberg. In Wright’s seminal style, it features natural materials like stone and wood throughout.

The 3.5 acres include 410 feet of beachfront, an impressive 250-foot dock, a heated pool, and a 22,000-gallon underground cistern.

2920 Bay Shore Cir, Sarasota, FL
Price: $765,000
Local legend: You’ll have a tough time proving that this two-bedroom, three-bath home was actually built by a student of Wright, but you can see why locals might think that.
“Organic modern” in design, according to the listing, the structure features stone walls, casement windows, a butterfly roof, and beamed ceilings with clerestory windows.
The home was built in 1940 and has a cabin aesthetic with teak, cypress, and black walnut finishes. Interesting details include Dutch doors with stained-glass inserts.
As a bonus, there’s a guesthouse on the half-acre grounds. It has a bedroom, studio, small bath, and kitchenette.

530 Plymouth St, Worthington, OH
Price: $749,000
Lovely and leafy: We’re nuts about the signature walnut shelving in this home, described as a “midcentury Usonian house.” It was built in 1969 by Wright student Ted Van Fossen.
The house has three bedrooms and 2.5 baths in 2,252 square feet of living space. There are multiple decks where you can enjoy the vibrant foliage and the burbling creek that runs by.
The home hugs a hillside, descending three levels. Though the surroundings are woodsy and private, the locale is just 15 minutes from Columbus.

200-A Sunnyside Rd, Inverness, CA
Price: $2,700,000
Wild and woodsy: This unusual home was built by architect Daniel Liebermann, who worked with Wright on the Marin Civic Center and then went his own way, designing crescent-shaped, sustainable homes like this one.
Constructed in 2008 alongside the entrance to Northern California’s Inverness Ridge Trail, the two radial-framed buildings feature an unusual open floor plan.
The listing states that there is one bedroom and one bath in 1,400 square feet of living space. The place boasts expansive windows, concrete floors, minimalist fixtures, and rough wood.
The 1-acre property offers views of the Point Reyes Peninsula and Mt. Vision.
