One of Wright’s gorgeous Usonian-style homes — which he began designing in the 1930s to accommodate middle-class homebuyers on a budget —  recently hit the real estate market in Atherton, California.

The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home was built in 1952 and boasts several of Wright's signature design traits.

OK, so $8 million is a teensy bit pricier than what the average homebuyer in 2022 can afford. But, wow, what a beauty!
