PRICE IMPROVED! Stunning Mediterranean-style home in coveted Lincoln Terrace. Built by a concrete contractor for himself, this Mediterranean gem is a smaller version of a Nichols Hills home he built for a client. A separate, unfinished space by the garage w bedroom, closet & full bath, offers potential for private guest quarters. The moment you enter through the mahogany front door you’re stepping back into a time of exquisite craftsmanship and decadent detail. Remarkably, so much of 1928 remains, right down to the servant-call annunciator & laundry chute. A lot of the major mechanical work has already been done: HVAC system approx 2 years old, in the last few years: sewer line and gas line replaced + some plumbing updates. Fully renovated homes in the area are approx $225-260/ft. The living room is pure Mediterranean drama. Elaborate sculpted plaster molding is joined by arched windows, marble window sills & a twist column. Then there’s the oversized original fireplace, layered w sculptural relief & period tile. Mahogany doors and trim, beveled glass, ornate brass hardware, plaster walls and mostly original light fixtures continue throughout the home. The original 1920s bathroom tile deserves its own moment. The huge formal dining room still has the original crystal chandelier, & the breakfast room opens to an enormous kitchen with marble surfaces. It needs cosmetic updating, but there is serious space to work with. Upstairs, the primary has another original tiled fireplace plus a separate sitting/office/sewing room. There’s also a basement, oversized 2-car garage and potential guest quarters beside the garage with a full bath and former kitchenette that needs renovation. This one has work ahead of it. But the expensive part to recreate, the architecture, artistry and soul of 1928, is already here. Lincoln Terrace is right in the heart, just blocks from the State Capitol and OU Health Sciences Center, highway access and some of OKC’s best restaurants minutes away.
