This estate in Wayne, Illinois was originally supposed to be designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and ended up looking like the house from The Brady Bunch.

Wayne, Illinois is an affluent town in the western suburbs of Chicago just south of Elgin where Rt. 59 intersects Rt. 64. If you've been through there you know that the houses can get pretty nice.

This is one of the best. Listed for $1.25 million, it is one of the most unique homes in Illinois.

Zillow - A gorgeous, sprawling, Usonian-inspired MCM / mid-century modern ranch home set on 6+ beautiful, private acres. Trowbridge had originally hired Frank Lloyd Wright to design the home, but Wright ended the relationship, so the architect is unknown - however, the home is heavily influenced by Wright's architecture. Built in 1957 and expanded in 1977, the home features 4 bedrooms (including one with its own fireplace), 3 1/2 baths and a wonderful layout perfect for those who love organic modern or MCM design.

It might just be me but the low pitched roof and abundant brick work makes me think of the classic 70s look immortalized by the Brady Bunch house.

The theme continues to the interior where every room has some exposed brick and wood tones dominate.

You know a place is expensive when it has a toilet that you don't recognize. It's almost another piece of art.
