A Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has landed on the market for nearly $8 million.
The 100-year-old, 10,500-square-foot Westhope — which has five bedrooms and five bathrooms and sits on 1.5 acres at 3704 S. Birmingham Avenue — has been listed by owner Stuart Price, chairman of Price Family Properties real estate company, Tulsa World reported.
Rob Allen of Sage Sotheby’s International has the listing.
The home, which was constructed with more than 5,000 panes of glass to take advantage of natural light, was built for Wright’s cousin, Richard Lloyd Jones, who published the Tulsa Tribune, the outlet said.
The home has a library, wood-burning fireplaces and a walk-in closet. The grounds include a pool, a koi pond and a two-bedroom guest apartment, Mansion Global reported.
Westhope changed hands several times through the years, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Price has owned the home since October 2021 and has taken strides to update and refurbish the home.
“We’re incredibly lucky to be stewards of this masterpiece,” Price told the Tulsa World in 2022.
It’s not unusual for a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed property to hit the market. But when one does, it’s still noteworthy.
In January, the George Smith Home, located at 404 Home Avenue in the Cook County village of Oak Park, Illinois, listed for $595,000.
In November, a Massachusetts mansion inspired by the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright listed for $38 million.
The unnamed sellers, who own the home through a trust, had the home custom built on 12.6 acres next to the town’s reservoir. The $38 million asking price is more than double the highest amount paid for a single-family home in the area.
In October 2022, the famed architect’s Socrates Zaferiou House in Blauvelt, New York, listed for $1.52 million.
In September 2022, the Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, house at 1425 Valley View Drive was listed for $725,000, Crain’s reported. It was the first time the home was put on the market since it was built in 1954.
