On the market for $1,495,000, it is known as the H.P. Young House and was built in 1869. Wright was hired in 1895 to update the Queen Anne Transitional and Prairie Style home.
The listing doesn’t elaborate on what kind of work was performed by the legendary architect, but his imprint is easy to see in the listing photos.
Set on a quarter-acre, the six-bedroom home spans 4,725 square feet and boasts “outstanding curb appeal.”
Key architectural features that are eye-catching from the curb include the porte-cochere, circular sunroom, and wide front porch.
The historic home last sold in 2010 for $1.05 million, and another round of renovations in 2012 brought it into the 21st century. The work was done by John Thorpe—an architect who also worked on a restoration of Wright’s home and studio.
Additions include a new kitchen with high-end appliances, a mudroom, as well as an extended family room featuring surround sound, hardwood flooring, automatic shades, and new windows. A new basement entry was also added, and cedar siding was installed on the back of the house.
Vintage highlights include a Roman-brick fireplace, stained-glass and lead-glass windows, banded oak ceilings, and a wide main staircase.
