Property Description

Step into over 5,000 sq ft of masterfully designed living space in this acclaimed 1897 Elizabeth and Rollin Furbeck House-one of Frank Lloyd Wright's earliest and most innovative residential works.

Enter through the gracious front porch into a richly detailed interior featuring an open, flowing floor plan-revolutionary for its time and now a hallmark of modern living. The main level begins with a dramatic living room anchored by a stunning fireplace inglenook-perfect for warming up on quiet evenings or gathering with friends. The space flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, which easily accommodates large family gatherings and special occasions.

A mezzanine reading nook overlooks the main floor, adding a warm, intimate layer to the home's grand scale. The expansive family room and gourmet kitchen-equipped with top-tier appliances and custom cabinetry-anchor the home for daily comfort and entertaining. An endless array of architectural details enrich every room, among them: gorgeous art glass, unique exterior dentil moldings, foot-high baseboards, coved ceilings, custom-made art glass light fixtures modeled after Wright's other famous works, and finely crafted built-ins throughout.
