Stunning seven-bedroom California home designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright ... trends now
One of Frank Lloyd Wright's exquisitely-designed homes is now on the market in California and can be yours for $4.25 million.
The 'Fawcett House,' a seven-bedroom and six bathroom home located in California's Central Valley, was recently listed and is perfect for anyone who likes to blend indoor and outdoor living.
'We have no longer an outside and an inside as two separate things. Now the outside may come inside, and the inside may and does go outside,' the famed architect said of the home, according to Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy.

The home, located 120 miles southeast of San Francisco, is one of many designed by the architect whose designs were lauded for their open and light concepts.
Other properties designed by Wright have sold for anywhere from a mere $725,000 to one currently listed at $7.95 million.
The Los Banos home is sited on 76 acres of land in the Central Valley and in 2019 won the California Preservation Design Award for Restoration.
It almost didn't come to fruition, however.
After the land's owner, Buck Fawcett, pitched the site to Wright, the architect said he didn't want to do it: 'Not much beauty there.'
'Actually, Mr. Wright, the Central Valley of California contains the most fertile agricultural land in the world, and you should consider it an honor to build a house there,' Fawcett responded.
Wright's interest was piqued and it ended up being one of the only homes situated on open acres of land the architect designed in his lifetime.

The stunning house is also considered one of the best examples of Wright's signature 'Usonian' home.
The term refers to sixty or so middle-income houses designed by Wright.
Usonian homes are typically smaller, often single-story properties without a garage.
They are mostly L-shaped to fit around a garden terrace and rely on solar heating and natural cooling, meaning more windows and doors.
