, the Socrates Zaferiou House is one of nine prefab structures that Wright built in the ‘50s. Although, he ended up passing away in 1959 before the project was complete, so the remainder of the plans were carried out by a project architect for the Guggenheim Museum. Zaferiou lived there for more than 50 years until Sarah Anderson-Magness of Studio Magness bought the property in 2014.
. “I have all the original drawings for the house. They have site-visit notes on the drawings with modifications that have to be made.” Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty Today, the four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home spans roughly 2,260 square feet and comprises all the original counters, tiles, fixtures and wood paneling. While it appears to be virtually untouched by time, Anderson-Magness has made small updates over the years including switching out the appliances and repainting the exterior. In the living room, you’ll find an original couch that Wright designed—which, if you’re wondering, does come with the sale of the house.
“I’m in a place where I want to be able to contribute my expertise to another place and enjoy it with my family,” adds Anderson-Magness. “I think that’s what a true preservationist is: We see and take what we’re given, and then try to implement the original intent. There’s a history and a story to maintain.” to see all the photos of the Socrates Zaferiou House
