If you’re a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, you’ll be excited to hear that his William P. Boswell House is on the market in Indian Hill, Ohio, for $3.4 million. This is a big deal for Wright fans because the interior of the William P. Boswell house has never been photographed publicly before. The home has 5,400 sq. ft. with 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths. Take a look!

The Cincinnati Enquirer website has a narrated slideshow of the home that goes into more detail about it.

Thanks for posting this. The MLS was fun to review. And you too can have this house for only $2500 per month, just in TAXES!
Yeah, what does that work out to–$30,000 a year in taxes alone?
Another reader mentioned to me that not one of the HGTV Dream Home winners has ever been able to keep the dream homes they won because they couldn’t afford the taxes. If this isn’t a reason to overhaul the tax system, I don’t know what is!
Yep, that’s some expensive taxes. J-Dawg signing out.
Don’t forget astronomical insurance if you win the 2008 Florida Keys Dream Home. Florida’s insurance premiums can be much higher than our taxes.
I am not a FLW fan. I can appreciate the skill and vision but I just don’t like the sterile environment in them. With those taxes the can keep the heap of brick. And sadly yes , not 1 winner of the hgtv dream house has kept it. Last year or before the gave the winner money to pay something, but I think they still sold it.
Beautiful home its hard to believe the impact of this man’s work this is a nice contrast to the Frank LLoyd Wright work at the college here in Lakeland.

Beautiful example of Wright architecture! Every line inside and out is an extended horizontal. Though I wonder how much this house has been updated. Wright wasn’t exactly known for open kitchens like this one. Thanks for sharing this!
I found this post especially interesting as I, along with my book club, had read the book “Loving Frank” earlier in the year. It is a novel written from the persceptive of his mistress of many years and is an interesting read. Even though his aesethic is different from my own, I get what he was trying to do, to offer simplicity and organic nature. I was so intrigued I checked out other books from the library to see more of his work. What an interesting man. On a trip north we stopped at a building he had designed in Spring Green, WI and you really do feel the one with nature concept.
Kitchen was completely re-done and the carport was built from Wright’s original blueprint
