Frank Lloyd Wright?s final home now asking $3M
The house first hit the market in 2016 for $3.6M The circular Norman Lykes Home, Frank Lloyd Wright?s final residential design, is now asking $2,985,000 after being on and off the market since 2016 with an original list price of $3,600,000. Designed just before his death in 1959 for Norman and Aimee Lykes, the 3,095-square-foot home was ultimately built in 1967 by apprentice John Rattenbury.
The home is an excellent example of the architect?s late-career style?exemplified by the Guggenheim and David and Gladys Wright home?and is most notable for its curving set of concentric circles. Located on a desert plateau in Phoenix?s Palm Canyon, the home looks like a set of intricate clock gears from above.
Wright was inspired by the curves and forms of the surrounding mountains, and the home boasts 180-degree-views of the landscape. The interior features curved walls clad in golden hued Philippine mahogany, circular and semi-circular windows and other geometric cutouts, custom built-ins, and original Wright-designed furniture. In 1994, Rattenbury updated the interiors, which originally had five bedrooms?some as small as closets?and now has three bedrooms and three bathrooms with a larger master suite. (All changes were approved by Taliesin West.) The house also includes a crescent-shaped pool, which helps mitigate the desert heat.
