It’s not unheard of for houses designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright to go on sale, but a Wright house selling for less than $1 million? Inconceivable!
Insert your Princess Bride jokes here.
The George Millard House is currently on the market — and has been for the past four years — with an asking price of only $799,000 (via Yahoo Homes).
Wright’s creation initially landed on the market in 2011 at $1,399,000 but has since fallen far below that after several price cuts — all this despite the design of the home remaining largely intact. It even won a restoration-preservation award.
As Curbed described the Illinois property back in 2012, “The immaculately restored George Millard house in Highland Park is undeniably one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most harmonious works. The rustic T-shaped 4-bed mimics the lot’s dimensions. …That’s not to say the home doesn’t have many of Wright’s characteristic touches. It has plenty— like the centralized fireplaces, 68 art glass windows, and veranda. The home sits on a 2/3 acre wooded corner lot just off the lake.”
