Built in 1967, the curvilinear Norman Lykes House is the last home ever designed by the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Perched atop Palm Canyon in Phoenix, Arizona, the home’s spiral design is closely related to two other late-career Wright masterpieces -- The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the David & Gladys Wright House in Mesa, Arizona. The historic three-bedroom, 2,840-square-foot residence, which is registered with the Wright Conservancy, is being offered with all of its original Wright-designed furniture. The home’s curvaceous, organic form and earthy palette beautifully illustrate Wright’s desire to dissolve the boundaries between the manmade and the natural world. The Lykes House’s interiors were fully renovated in 1995, but still retain many of the original built-ins. This architectural gem is on the market for $3.6 million.
