Frank Lloyd Wright House in Ardmore is For Sale

It’s a rare privilege to step inside a house built by Frank Lloyd Wright, the preeminent 20th century American architect and interior designer. Wright designed hundreds of beautiful, original homes, commercial buildings and other structures, among them western Pennsylvania’s “Fallingwater”—one of the most recognized private homes in the world—and the landmark Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan, a rather unmistakable creation itself.

But to be able to actually purchase a home designed by the world-renowned architect, who died in 1959, is a stunning opportunity. Wright's influence more than 50 years later is still profound, perhaps even more so as the green movement re-energizes compact planning initiatives that he championed. New office towers bear his mark, as do multi-million dollar beachfront homes. His touch can be seen at mainstream-level retail, too, in a pretty knockoff Mission sconce at Lowe’s or some of the elegant offerings at Restoration Hardware; perhaps even in the clean lines and functionality of Ikea furniture.

But that opportunity to buy is in Ardmore, right now, at 156 Sutton Road.
