HOME DETAILS | 715 Washington
Welcome to the K.C. DeRhodes House — a true architectural treasure designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1906 and one of only two Wright-designed homes in South Bend. This nearly 3,000 sq ft Prairie Style masterpiece was the first home Wright built in Indiana and remains the only true Prairie residence in the state. Tucked into the West Washington Historic District, this home reflects the vision and innovation of Wright’s early career, with its strong horizontal lines, overhanging eaves, and perfect symmetry inside and out. The home features 65 original art glass windows, matching built-ins, and custom light fixtures — all hallmarks of Wright’s attention to detail and craftsmanship. The main level includes a welcoming reception hall, living room with brick fireplace, a formal dining room, a half bath, and a thoughtfully updated kitchen that blends seamlessly with the home’s historic style. Upstairs you’ll find five bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a primary suite with its own fireplace and a stunning wall of art glass windows wrapping three sides of the room with custom black-out blinds. The home sits on a generous city lot and includes beautifully restored terraces in both the front and back, a detached two-stall garage, and a finished basement that adds flexible living space while preserving the integrity of the original design. This home has been privately owned for over 40 years and lovingly cared for by preservation-minded stewards who were awarded the Wright Spirit Award in 2021 by the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy. This is more than just a home — it’s a living piece of art, history, and design legacy. Prior to scheduling a showing, buyers must review and acknowledge the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy Preservation & Conservation Easement, Furniture Preservation Lease, and License to Encroach. Showings by appointment only. Cash or pre-approved buyers with proof of funds or lender letter required in advance.
