Plainfield Prairie School-Style McMansion Seeks $1.2M

The home, located in the upscale Lakelands subdivision, is a contemporary take on Frank Lloyd Wright's famous style.

PLAINFIELD, IL — A unique, Prairie School-style mansion in a popular subdivision in Plainfield is seeking $1.2 million. The contemporary home is a take on Frank Lloyd Wright's famous architecture style.

The over 9,000-square-foot home was built in 2003 and is located in the upscale Lakelands subdivision, and the home has lake views and comes with a boat dock. Built in 2003, the home is marketed as "mid-century modern," though its style is more reminiscent of Wright's "Prairie School", which features bold horizontal lines and columns of windows. The home even has the ornately designed windows that are in some of Wright's more famous Chicago area homes.

Inside, the home is pure mcmansion, with soaring ceilings, massive open spaces and plenty of amenities. On top of five bedrooms, the home has an exercise room, media room, wine closet and a sauna with a hot tub, according to its listing on Realtor.com.
