Now’s your chance to live in a rare piece of architectural history. Recently, the largest of four Frank Lloyd Wright-designed houses in New Jersey has hit the market for the first time in over 20 years.<\/p>\n

According to Curbed<\/a>, the famed James B. Christie house sits on seven acres of peaceful woodlands and embodies the late designer’s Usonian concept, which embraced\u00a0simplicity, the use of natural materials, and a strong connection to the outdoors.<\/p>\n

The unique structure, built from cypress wood, brick, and glass, features an L-shape plan common in Wright’s designs. The living and dining areas lie perpendicular to a string of bedrooms, while the kitchen sits cozily in the corner.\u00a0The house also features the\u00a0original built-in seating, tables, and chairs. Glass walls also give the house plenty of light and pleasant views of the surrounding woodlands.<\/p>\n

The original 2,000-square-foot house was expanded to around 2,700-square-feet in 1994 with the help of a local firm and\u00a0Frank Lloyd Wright preservation specialist Tarantino Studio<\/a>. During the renovation, a master bedroom suite that was part of the home’s original plans was added. The added suite includes a lively sitting area and its own brick fireplace.<\/p>\n

The house is on the market for $2,200,000.<\/p>\n
