Glen Ridge home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright hits the market

A hexagonal home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Glen Ridge was listed last week for $1.2 million, according to 6sqft. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 63 Chestnut Hill Place in Glen Ridge was designed in 1941 and built in Wright’s Usonian style a decade later. Known as the Stuart Richardson House, the 1,800-square-foot home is one of only four Wright-designed homes in New Jersey, according to JerseyDigs, and is best known for its hexagonal floor plan without a single right angle. The home also includes an in-ground swimming pool, a cantilevered entryway, a study, an inverted-pyramid ceiling and a triangular fireplace. The property, which last traded for nearly $1 million in December 2016, is now being marketed by its owners without a broker. NorthJersey.com reported that when the property was sold three years ago, a Coldwell Banker agent that brokered the deal said the home had no formal dining room or basement. The house, which is heated through a steam-warmed concrete slab per Wright’s typical design, sits on 0.54 acres. The Real Deal reported last month on the $555,000 sale of Wright’s Sherman Booth Cottage in suburban Chicago. [6sqft]
