This French country home exudes the elegance of Normandy with its exquisite turret entry and timeless stone construction. Step inside and be enchanted by the original wood floors that tell tales from days gone by, while marble window sills add an extra touch of luxury. AND THE STORY GOES... Builder, JC Powers, built several homes in the neighborhood. While serving the U.S. in WW II, he met a young lady in France and proposed - She agreed to come to The States and be his wife only IF... he built her a French Country home in the style of Normandy. As you explore this enchanting abode, antique chandeliers sourced from Europe and other travel adventures will transport you to a world of sophistication and allure. The original owners had their own SPEAK EASY of sorts - they repaired slot machines and they hosted gambling parties in the home and the upstairs bonus room. SECRET HIDDEN ROOM - There is a kitchenette upstairs that can be concealed with a bookcase door - this space was used to hide gambling equipment and liquor during prohibition in Oklahoma. The kitchen has received tasteful updates including floor tile, dishwasher and oven-range. Brand new furnaces and A/C units installed in 2021 ensure cozy warmth or cool respite whenever desired. The primary bedroom is complete with ensuite bath and 2 separate closets. Three full bathrooms (rarely found in historic homes) effortlessly accommodate your family's needs, there is plenty of space for everyone's routine. There is an outside basement for storage. Interesting that this home has only had 3 owners. Original blueprints and statement of materials available. Located in the coveted Cleveland Elementary district and just a few minutes from Plaza, Paseo, Midtown, Downtown, Uptown, OCU, and OUHSC. Come See today! (Estimated ARV remodel value $420,000)
