New Jersey is home to three residences designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (a fourth was relocated to the Crystal Bridges museum in Arkansas) that highlight a commitment to sustainability and connection to nature. An ultra-modern mansion in Franklin Hills prioritizes those eco-conscious incentives as well, with solar panels, a geothermal heating system, and a high-efficiency gas boiler back-up that produces fewer emissions for a smaller energy-use footprint. Attilio Adamo, Victoria Adamo, and Andrew Arrigo of Serhant hold the $6.7 million listing .
The gated five-bedroom residence presides over more than three acres on Penobscott Place. Surrounded by a nature preserve and just 30 minutes outside of New York City, the captivating home was built in 2015 with a boxy stucco façade positioned at the end of a curvy driveway. Next to the two-car garage is a customized carport complete with car washing equipment.
