Coonley House in Riverside, Ill.

One of Frank Lloyd Wright's best examples of prairie-style architecture, the Avery Coonley House was built from 1908-1912. The five-bedroom, five-bathroom home has been fully restored to its original beauty but updated for today's living. There's a certain appreciation for the architectural details, including the gorgeous Craftsman-style windows. The large reflecting pool adds a unique element to the design.

Staying true to the Craftsman style, the foyer features warm wood furnishings and wonderful architectural details, like the trio of windows above the console table. Reddish-brown tile is grounded by an area rug that adds color and interest to the space.

Hallway

Leading the way to the second floor living area, a narrow hallway includes a low, built-in bookcase on one side to display art, books and personal treasures. The real show-stopper, though, is the vaulted ceiling with Craftsman-style skylights to match the overall design of the space.

Dining Room

In the dining room, a brick fireplace keeps the space extra cozy, and a custom wood-trimmed ceiling with a row of skylights stays true to the Craftsman design. Anchored by a traditional red rug, high-back dining chairs and a chunky wood table offer comfortable seating for six.
