Property Description
Own a Rare Frank Lloyd Wright Masterpiece: The Weisblat House
For 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 Purity
Wright’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 Enhancements
The 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 Design
A 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 Potential
Zoned for short-term rental, this home could generate significant revenue, offering a rare blend of heritage and income.
Historic Setting
Located in “The Acresâ€â€”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 Opportunity
The 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 Only
To protect the property’s integrity, showings are limited. Contact our Wright specialist to arrange a private tour.
