Frank Lloyd Wright designed Minneapolis home is back on market for $2.495 million
The 1951 Usonian house on Cedar Lake follows a failed $3.4 million listing attempt.
The 1951 Usonian house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright is back on the market for $2.495 million, according to Realtor.com. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence is located on Burnham Blvd in Minneapolis on the southeast shore of Cedar Lake.
David Stickney of Coldwell Banker Realty Stickney Real Estate is listing the property. Stickney told the Times of India that the home is a rare opportunity to own a timeless Wright-designed house and noted that much of the original design and craftsmanship remains intact.
The house sits on a private half-acre and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The city of Minneapolis recognises the landmark for its innovative design and artistic value.
The property features marble-bearing walls, larch panelling, and aluminium-framed windows and doors. It includes floor-to-ceiling windows, vaulted ceilings, a Wrightian fireplace, and custom-built furnishings.
The home was previously owned by the estate of Mary Louise Neils McGee, who inherited it from Frieda and Henry J. Neils. That estate sold the property in 2007 for $2.4 million, according to the Star Tribune.
The house was listed for $3.4 million in 2018, but the price was later reduced to $2.95 million after failing to attract buyers. The current asking price is $95,000 more than the 2007 sale price.
