The Only Frank Lloyd Wright-Designed Home in Kentucky Is on the Market
The Zeigler House was built in 1910 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places
In the historic river town of Frankfort—about an hour’s drive from Louisville—is the Ziegler House, the only Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home in the state of Kentucky. Recently listed for $775,000 with Lenihan Sotheby’s International Realty, the four bedroom, two bath home encompasses 2,703 square feet on .23 acres.
“It’s an honor to represent such an extraordinary piece of Kentucky’s architectural history,” listing agent Bradley Bringardner tells Galerie. “The Zeigler House isn’t just a home—it’s a work of art designed by Frank Lloyd Wright himself, and the only one of its kind in the entire state. We’re thrilled to share this rare opportunity with those who appreciate iconic design and timeless craftsmanship.”
According to the listing, the home was meticulously restored in 1992, but many Wright-designed elements remain intact, including art glass windows, cantilevered balconies, wide overhangs, a Roman brick fireplace with illuminated cabinet, and original cabinetry complete with art glass doors. Additionally, nearly every room on both the first and second floors opens directly to the outside, reflecting Wright’s passion for blending nature and design.
On the home’s first floor is a kitchen, living room, dining room, butler’s pantry, and an idyllic glass-enclosed porch. The second floor boasts four bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own sitting porch, a fireplace, a bathroom, and a sizeable private deck within a tree canopy. Lastly, the finished lower level has a bathroom with a walk-in shower and a Jacuzzi, closet space, a laundry room, and an office/non-conforming bedroom.
The Zeigler House, located just two blocks from the Kentucky State Capitol and the governor’s mansion, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been named one of Kentucky’s top ten architectural sites.
