A Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house in east Phoenix will be listed for sale Monday at an asking price of about $2.4 million, a spokeswoman for the owner said Friday.

Melissa Banuchi, who represents 8081 Meridian, which owns the David and Gladys Wright House, said the property has always been for sale, but placing it on the Multiple Listing Service will open it up to a wider range of potential buyers.

“Hopefully this will generate more interest,” she said.

Real-estate agent Robert Joffe will list the property, she said.

Banuchi said potential buyers will continue to be screened, and the property, located near 56th Street and Camelback Road in Arcadia, will continue to be sold “as is” — as an investment property, not as a residential property, which requires inspections.

The house has been the focus of an ongoing controversy as the city moves to designate it as historic.

In June, the city approved a split of the property’s lot that would allow 8081 Meridian to tear down the house and build at least two new homes on the site.

The sale of the house to 8081 Merdian closed in August for $1.8 million.

The potential demolition set off a movement to preserve the house, including the initiation of a historic-designation process by the city that could prevent demolition of the house for up to three years.

A demolition permit was mistakenly granted to the owners by the city on Sept. 4, but city officials claim it is invalid because it was granted after the process for historic designation had begun in June. An agreement between the owner and the city has postponed each party’s claims through Oct. 27.

Both the Phoenix Historic Preservation Commission and the Phoenix Planning Commission have recommended the historic overlay. The City Council will consider the matter early next month.

If the owner does not request an extension of the agreement at least three days prior to the Oct. 27 deadline, the city says, it can revoke the permit.
