7 Bed, 7 Bath, 4149 square feet. I found a better picture of the front here. Known as the Lytle House it was built by lumber baron Joseph Lytle. There used to be a website for this house, when it was a bed and breakfast. I took a look at it on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine and found another pic of it.

3 Bed, 3.5 Bath, 3028 square feet. A Frank Lloyd Wright designed home. He describes this home (so the listing ad says), “So I put the best in me into this house. I feel now, looking back, that this was the best I could do in a house.” Virtual tour available. Aerial view and street view.
