Located just a few blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, the home is the fifth most expensive listing in the 23451 ZIP code, but it is No. 1 for its esteemed pedigree.

Lakefront luxury

Built in 1959, the year Wright died, the four-bedroom residence known as the Andrew B. and Maude Cooke House took the legendary architect six years to design.

Wright’s signature design elements in this 3,020-square-foot home include red cypress wood, a copper cantilevered roof, and glazed-brick walls. The great room is marked by a high ceiling—in this case, 70 feet—as well as built-in banquettes.

The home sits on a half-acre lot facing Crystal Lake, a popular fishing and boating spot encircled by luxury homes.
