Where would you move to own a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece? As one of the most prolific architects of the 20th century, FLW pushed the boundaries of what a home could look like and his midcentury creations attract attention nationwide when they hit the market. Unlike some architects, he created homes all over the country, from Phoenix to Chicago to New Canaan and beyond. For an architecture enthusiast looking to enhance their real estate portfolio, a unique Frank Lloyd Wright-designed residence in Tulsa, Oklahoma is a must-see. After listing last year for $8 million, it just came back onto the market at a significantly slashed $4.5 million.
With most places currently operating in a buyer’s market, this is an unparalleled opportunity to nab an architectural wonder for a discount. Known as Westhope, the 10,405-square-foot beauty was constructed in 1929 and joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It’s one of only three Frank Lloyd Wright designs in the state and it was, in fact, built for the architect’s cousin.
Westhope’s striking use of glass and concrete has a brutalist feel that feels so current, proving once more how ahead of his time the architect was. Stepping inside, the home invites elegant, minimalist interiors with its huge white walls ideal for displaying artwork and its equally expansive walls of glass. The architecture and green views are deservedly the star of this residence, so warm tones and clean-lined decor keep that focus clear.
As well as providing many sumptuous living spaces, the house offers five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. The bathrooms are actually where pops of color come into play, with pink and blue tiles giving the home a dash of unexpected whimsy.
For those hot, midwest summers, the pool outside awaits. So, what are you waiting for? If you have e $4.5 million to spare, Rob Allen of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
