n the heart of Manhattan, a piece of architectural history is up for grabs. Frank Lloyd Wright's former New York City residence, where he spent five pivotal years overseeing the construction of his iconic Guggenheim Museum, has hit the market with a price tag of $18.9 million.

    This rare and extraordinary four-bedroom corner condo, nestled in the Plaza Private Residences, boasts an impressive 4,000 square feet of living space. The unit's crowning glory is its soaring ceilings, which reach as high as 13 feet, allowing for an abundance of natural light to pour in through the expansive windows.

    The condo's interior design is a masterclass in elegance and sophistication, with custom moldings complemented by vibrant splashes of color. The space was meticulously redesigned in 2011 by architect Louis Lisboa and interior designer Susanna Maggard, who brought their expertise to bear on the project.

    As one of Wright's most famous projects, the Guggenheim Museum is an architectural icon that continues to inspire awe today. However, its creator would not live to see its completion, passing away just six months before its 1959 opening. Wright and his wife, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright, had a long history with the Plaza, having taken over their suite from none other than "Gone with the Wind" producer David O. Selznick.

    The couple's own redesign of the condo in 1945 was a labor of love, as they sought to erase any remaining French detailing and create a space that truly reflected Wright's organic architectural style. The result is a residence that exudes warmth and character, with every detail carefully considered to create a sense of harmony and balance.

    As one of the most famous residents in New York City history, Wright held court at the Plaza with an impressive array of guests, including Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, as well as King Faisal II of Iraq. Today, residents of the Plaza Private Residences enjoy access to 5-star amenities, including 24-hour room service and twice-daily housekeeping.

    This incredible opportunity to own a piece of architectural history is not to be missed. With its stunning views, luxurious finishes, and unparalleled location, this condo is sure to captivate even the most discerning buyer.
