"Bed & bath: 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathsTop amenities: A firepit, stationary bike, Egyptian cotton linensNearby attractions: The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Lucas Oil Stadium Another of Wright’s Usonian designs, this gorgeous four-bedroom structure looks very similar to a small storybook castle. The home was built in 1955 in the Shady Hills neighborhood where many of the homes are shrouded by thick oak trees. The home sits on two acres of land making it a very private retreat for small groups looking to catch a game in downtown Indianapolis or plan on heading to the popular Indy 500 car race. The geometric floor plan is designed around the central fireplace chimney and took inspiration from Sioux campsites where teepees would be situated around the fire. The narrow hallways lead to large, spacious rooms that look out to the surrounding forest."
"The Goetsch-Winckler House is a classic example of Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian designs, offering an affordable middle-class housing vision from the mid-century. This architectural gem features two long walls of glass, wooden partitions, original Wright furniture pieces, and an atmosphere conducive to creative work. The interior is minimal, open, and spatially enriched, reflecting Wright's mastery of light and design."
