Now this is Wright. Check out the Heurtley House, it is considered to be an important home in the career of Frank Lloyd Wright. The home in Oak Park, Illinois is on the list of National Historic Landmarks and located near Wright's home. The home is basically a Wright museum you can live inside. It is full of muted green tones and softly glowing wood. The reproduction furniture adds that perfect touch. It is listed at $4.9 million. After the jump, there's a reason they call this guy a genius.

[Thanks, Ben!]
