Frank Lloyd Wright’s Only Ocean House Sold for a Record-Breaking $22 Million—Here’s What It Looks Like Inside
Gorgeous views ahead.
It's been over 60 years since Frank Lloyd Wright's passing, but the famed architect and his works are still making headlines. Not only is his final project called Circular Sun House on the market for $8.95 million, but the Wall Street Journal also reports that his Mrs. Clinton Walker House just sold for $22 million, making it the most expensive transaction for a Wright-designed home. (Prior to this sale, the Ennis House in Los Angeles held the title for $18 million.) However, this home was never officially listed, says Jessica Canning of Sotheby's International, who represented the seller.
Located on Carmel Point—an area near California's idyllic Carmel-by-the-Sea, just a few hours south of San Francisco—Wright crafted this home to look like a ship piercing through water. The Mrs. Clinton Walker House—or, as it's also known, Cabin on the Rocks—was commissioned by Pebble Beach artist Della Walker in 1945 and completed in 1952. Of course, the record-breaking price isn't the only interesting thing about this property. As Wright's only oceanfront project, this 1,400-square-foot residence offers incredible views of the Pacific Ocean, Carmel Bay, and Pebble Beach. The home's materials like cedar, concrete, glass, and caramel-tinged stone cleverly blur the line between old and new.
But, don't take our word for it: Read on for an intimate look at the most expensive Frank Lloyd Wright home to date.
