Property Description
Own one of the most historic pieces of art and architecture with this famous Frank Lloyd Wright house, called The Circular Sun House / Norman Lykes. The home is hilltop with views from every room. 3 bedrooms plus an office atop the home, a library/bar area and den with built-in entertainment cabinet could be the 4th bedroom. Designed to blend in with the curves of the surrounding desert mountain, this iconic masterpiece was the last home designed by Wright. Overlapping concentric circles create a floorplan that flows seamlessly from one room to another while every room takes in unobstructed majestic views of Palm Canyon and the city below. Curved walls, clad in golden-hued Philippine mahogany throughout cover the three bedrooms and hallway, reflecting the natural light of Palm Canyon... Sprawling entertaining spaces flow outside to ample patios and a crescent-shaped pool. See video featured in Architectural Digest. Furniture included! Inquire about opportunity to purchase this home with a self-directed IRA and/or fractional ownership to create an investment opportunity with this rare property. This home was designed shortly before the completion of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum in NY. Renovated in 1995. In 2019, four new Trane AC units. The kitchen is plumbed for gas (propane). Qualified buyers only. Fractional sale once all buyers are in place.
