The current owners have painstakingly restored the home, since taking ownership in 2016, to bring it back to the grandeur that it was. Detail to color, tile, and even appliances was a priority. The furnishing even features many original Frank Lloyd Wright pieces, such as the dining table, and other furniture and art pieces from the same period according to the Airbnb listing. 

Each detail is meant to take a visitor back to "days gone by", with an updated twist throughout the entire home and grounds. There's even a vintage collection of jazz albums to enjoy on the turntable to set the mood.
