Aging Wright Masterpiece and October's Home Prices in Lower Merion and Narberth (Under One Million).

Wright's SunTop Homes. Four separate dwellings on common axis  
Four private residences share a common lot and axis in this Frank Lloyd Wright designed residential structure at Sutton Rd and Spring Ave. in Ardmore.
Built in 1939 and dubbed the Suntop Homes, the dwelling labeled 156 Sutton Ave.  (left in photo), sold this October for $387,000.  With 2 beds, 2 baths and about 1650 sf of craftily carved living space, the home's angular interiors prompted one client to remark:  "It's like living on a boat"
