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.
