Frank Lloyd Wright helped pave the way when it came to designing mid-century modern houses and his influence in part made them extremely popular — even to this day.

While this particular beauty wasn’t designed by one of the world’s most recognized architects, it has the same vibes and sleek classic look most of his designs carry.

Oh, and it’s massive — like the size of a megamansion type massive.

The seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom estate is listed for $3.3 million in Florence, Alabama, and is a whopping 11,198 square feet. It sits on over six acres and has amazing views of the waterfront. Because it’s so huge, it has a lot of interesting features, the listing on Zillow.com says, including:

  • Outside swimming pool

  • Indoor swimming pool

  • Hair salon

  • Elevator

  • Koi pond

  • Bar

“The contemporary design features floor to ceiling windows to take advantage of the water views from most rooms, mahogany woodwork inside and out, and limestone,” the listing notes. “Outside, there are expansive stone patios surrounding the property, outdoor kitchen, outdoor pool, helicopter pad and a private gated entrance along with a guest house.”

Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page and Twitter account that highlights unique houses for sale, often features some of country’s most pristine mid-century modern homes and, of course, shared this one.

“This house is absolutely beautiful,” one person on Facebook expressed.

“Very much reminds me of a Frank Lloyd Wright home that’s here in Tulsa. I love it!” another said.

“Wow… just WOW!! I love it so much,” someone commented.

“I’ve never said this before, but I’m in absolute love,” one person noted.

Not even an MCM fan, particularly, but this one is an absolute STUNNER,” another said on Twitter.

Florence is about 120 miles northwest of Birmingham.
