Located in Bunker Hill Village at Tall Oaks St. 12020, Wright designed the house in 1954 for insurance manager William L. Thaxton Jr. It is one of only three houses in Texas designed by Wright; the others are in Dallas and Amarillo. Plus, you’d have the honor of owning a house with your own Wikipedia page.
Thaxton House has over 8,000 square feet of living space, including five bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms.
The master bedroom has huge windows.

The original house was 1,800 square feet and designed as a parallelogram that incorporated angles throughout the house. Wright also designed the house’s built-in furniture, although not all of it has survived.
An extension from 1995 includes a courtyard and a pool.
