A Frank Lloyd Wright House Just Hit the Market in a New York Hamlet
Seeking $1.5M, the nearly 3,000-square-foot Usonian-style home built shortly after the architect’s death was recently restored.
Location: 48 Clausland Mountain Road, Blauvelt, New York
Price: $1,525,000
Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright
Year Built: 1963
Footprint: 2,619 square feet (four bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths)
Lot Size: 2.5 acres
From the Agent: "Built circa 1960, the Socrates Zaferiou House sits on two-and-a-half acres, and is located in Clausland Mountain Park, a 532-acre, heavily wooded park. It is also the only house Wright designed on the west bank of the Hudson. This architecturally striking, four-bedroom residence is a modified Usonian-style, single-story home, featuring an extra bedroom and walk-out basement with tall ceilings. Zaferiou appealed to Wright for two years to approve his site and expanded home style, and finally, this variation of the Usonian style design was eventually approved by Wright."
The one-level residence sits nestled amidst soaring trees and lush landscaping. Despite its tranquil environs, the home is only a five-minute drive to Nyack and 35 minutes away from New York City.
