1315 NW 21st Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73106

If you've dreamed of owning a piece of Oklahoma City history, this 1915 Victorian-style home in the heart of historic Gatewood is worth a serious look. You're within blocks of The Plaza and Paseo Arts Districts, Uptown 23rd, and Midtown, some of the city's best restaurants, coffee shops, and galleries right outside your door. Living here means choosing a home where the details were made to last and the rooms each have something unique to say. The turret rises above the roofline, fish-scale shingles catch afternoon light, and substantial stucco porch columns make a strong first impression. Diamond grid windows, stone fireplace, crown molding, and original hardwood floors are evidence of a period when artistry and craftsmanship were shared values. The kitchen features a skylight, metal cabinets, butcher block counters, and stainless appliances, with a peninsula that flows naturally into a casual dining area. The sunken den, with kiva fireplace, terracotta floors, and a gorgeous wooden door with sidelights opening to the back deck, is a later addition that adds a whole other dimension. The ground floor primary bedroom connects to a beautifully updated bathroom with subway tile and walk-in shower. Upstairs, two bedrooms offer their own sense of charm and retreat. One connects to an ensuite bathroom with clawfoot tub positioned beneath a cathedral ceiling and arched window, black hex and white octagon-and-dot tile floors complete a bathroom that feels more like a sanctuary. Outside, mature trees shade a wooden deck, covered patio, and detached barn-door garage, rounding out a backyard that has real potential. This house has been priced to reflect its current condition. Engineering assessments have identified some needed improvements to the property's foundation and drainage. Estimates can be found in the supplements for buyers to understand the scope of current needs. For the savvy historic buyer, there's far more here worth saving than there is work to be done.
