Known as the Mrs. Clinton Walker House, the oceanside residence in Carmel-by-the-Sea is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The Mrs. Clinton Walker House, Frank Lloyd Wright’s only oceanfront design, just sold for $22 million“I am a woman living alone—I wish protection from the wind and privacy from the road and a house as enduring as the rocks but as transparent and charming as the waves and delicate as the seashore,” she wrote. “You are the only man who can do this—will you help me?” in 1952. Constructed largely of cedar and Carmel stone, it also features painted steel, copper, concrete and glass.
Originally built in 1952, the property has since been placed on the National Register of Historic Places“I hope this tiny aristocrat among the Carmel bourgeois, so exciting in itself, is not only a domestic experience giving you the joy you, its progenitor, deserve, but a spiritual uplift,”a few years after the home was finished. The newspaper reported that Esperanza Carmel LLC, a real estate investment and development firm, bought the house from the family’s descendants.
“They fell in love with it exactly how it is, right down to the pillows and the books,” listing agent Jessica Canning of Canning Properties Group, who represented the sellers, told theto see all the photos of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Mrs. Clinton Walker House.
