A three-bedroom, 2,064-square-foot house in Oak Park that is an early design by architect Frank Lloyd Wright is on the market for $595,000.
Built in 1898 and known as the George Smith Home, the shingle-style house on Home Avenue was listed in December for $770,000, and already has undergone two price reductions — first to $629,900 and now to $595,000. The home has been owned by the same family for more than six decades and has not been on the market during that entire time.The house was built for Smith, who was a salesperson for Marshall Field & Co.
“It’s not the norm of a Frank Lloyd Wright house that’s a Prairie-style home,” Cannon said. “But it’s bright, sunny and cheery, with big rooms, and it’s got a great floor plan. And it has beautiful bands around the room, with high baseboards, woodwork and Roman-style brick on the fireplace and the inlaid floor.”Cannon told Elite Street that the house now is “priced to sell,” and that it’s an ideal project for someone looking to renovate a historic home.
