Want to live in a house with its own Wikipedia page? Well here’s your chance: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Winslow House in River Forest is back on the market, now with reduced property taxes and a slightly reduced priced. But of course, that doesn’t mean it’s cheap to own a piece of history.
Built in 1893, Wright designed this house at age 26 (ever the overachiever) and is touted as an exceptionally important piece of American architecture. The Prairie School home boasts original art glass windows, bronze fixtures, hand-carved wood ornamentation and has been “meticulously maintained.” Just take a look at the interiors—they’re stunning. And to boot, the coach house apartment has been recently renovated with brand new appliances.
So how much does it cost to live inside a piece of classic Americana? The Winslow House is now listed at a cool $1.375 million.
Maybe the Winslow House isn’t your style, but you’re in the market for another FLW home? Here are six additional Wright houses for sale in the Chicago area, for your gawking purposes.
