Property Description
Own a Rare Frank Lloyd Wright Masterpiece: The Weisblat HouseFor only the second time in 75 years, the Christine and David Weisblat House—a pristine example of Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian design—is available for purchase. Nestled on a secluded one-acre site with deeded access to an additional 1.5 acres and over 50 acres of shared woodlands, this architecturally significant home remains remarkably original, protected by a perpetual easement for preservation.Architectural PurityWright's vision is fully realized through the use of low horizontal lines, rich natural materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions. Original built-ins, ornamental block windows, Wright-designed furniture, and Honduran and Philippine mahogany millwork create a truly immersive 1950s time capsule.Thoughtful EnhancementsThe 1960 Taliesin-authorized addition added a flat roof and climate control, blending timeless design with modern comfort. The original red Cherokee floors, updated mahogany fascia, and a distinctive red-hipped roof complete the look.Nature Meets DesignA screened Usonian porch overlooks a frog pond and meadow. An attached greenhouse supports year-round cultivation. A matching shed provides discreet exterior storage.Flexible Income PotentialZoned for short-term rental, this home could generate significant revenue, offering a rare blend of heritage and income.Historic SettingLocated in “The Acres”—a private community of four Wright-designed homes and one Taliesin apprentice design—this National Register-listed enclave preserves Wright's original circular site plan, communal open space, and undivided intent.A Singular OpportunityThe Weisblat House is more than a home; it's a museum-quality artifact, income-generating investment, and once-in-a-lifetime stewardship opportunity.Viewings by Appointment OnlyTo protect the property's integrity, showings are limited.
