This 5,000 sq ft Illinois home marks a key transitional moment in Frank Lloyd Wright’s career, bridging his late 19th-century influences and his emerging Prairie School style.

Completed in 1897 in the affluent Chicago suburb of Oak Park, the Elizabeth and Rollin Furbeck House sits just eight blocks from Frank Lloyd Wright’s own home and studio, finished eight years earlier. It borrows many of the same design elements and is one of the earliest examples of Wright’s signature style emerging from his earlier, more conventional commissions while working in the office of his mentor, Louis Sullivan, most notably its wide, hipped roof.

The large single-family home — a wedding gift from Rollin Furbeck’s father — is located in Oak Park’s Estate Section, where the largest, most elaborate homes were built. It features an open floor plan conceived for entertaining, with a large Inglenook fireplace anchoring the parlour. Early Prairie elements are visible in the low-hanging eaves, warm woodwork, leaded and stained glass windows, and built-in cabinetry and bookshelves.

Listed by Louise Nix of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago for $1.98m, the historically significant property is expected to draw strong interest from Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiasts.

This isn’t a museum piece, however. The current owners, who purchased the five-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home 30 years ago, have made sensitive updates, including a larger kitchen (a common challenge in Wright homes) and a revamped primary suite. They also added a heated in-ground pool to the expansive 13,000 sq ft lot — nearly double the size of most in Oak Park — and built a five-car garage.
