Frank Lloyd Wright Apprentice House Featured in ‘Mrs. Maisel’ Hits the Market
Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation | Jan 13, 2020
The eight-bedroom home that was recently featured on the hit TV show “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” is
located on nearly two acres of land in New Jersey and is on the market for $2.5 million.
This John Rattenbury-designed home, built in 1968 and located in the Upper Wyoming neighborhood in New Jersey is for sale and currently listed at $2.5 million. Rattenbury was an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright’s for eight years, and continued his work through the Taliesin Associated Architects (TAA), the architecture firm created by Wright’s apprentices following his passing. The Kessler’s commissioned TAA to design the home for them because they admired Wright’s Fallingwater, and wanted a luxurious custom home with a similar feel.
The home was recently featured in the fifth episode of season three of the popular TV show, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” In the episode, the Kessler residence is the backdrop for a fictional variety-style talk show.

The private master suite features dual bathrooms with marble counters and showers, terrazzo floors, a sunken terrazzo tub, a sauna, and steam showers.
