The custom house is one of the last homes Frank Lloyd Wright built before his death in 1959.
Even among Frank Lloyd Wright’s scores of iconic properties, this sweeping spiral house still stands out. The Arizona home, which the celebrated architect built for his son David in the 1950s, just sold for $7.25 million.
According to the listing, the custom home is one of three spiral designs built by Wright. It holds a special place in his catalog, as it’s one of the last homes he built before his death in 1959 and also serves as a precursor to the Guggenheim Museum in New York, which many consider one of Wright’s greatest works.
Inside are three bedrooms and four bathrooms in about 2,200 square feet. There are almost no straight lines in the entire home, as the common spaces are all lined with rounded walls of windows. The curling home coils around a grassy courtyard outside, and winding pathways meander through the grounds. At the edge of the property, there’s a 360-square-foot guesthouse that was recently restored.
