The story of this magnificent home is the story of Oklahoma City. Just two doors down from the former home of Perle Mesta, Oklahoma’s famed ‘hostess with the mostest,’ this beautifully proportioned turn-of-the-century estate occupies an oversized lot brimming with promise. Her facade is classic colonial with a clever twist: a large, Queen Anne-style gable gives the home a dose of flair. Below that, a wide, graceful eave shades the sweeping front porch flanking the front door. You’ll spend a good amount of time here, laughing with neighbors, sipping, reading and watching the world go by. Original tile in the front vestibule and original wood floors add patina throughout the first floor. These floors have not been refinished – ever- and are glorious. Everywhere you look: incredible untouched original paneling and woodwork, antique chandeliers, working fireplaces (five!) and a level of craftsmanship not seen in a century. The home was built by Dr. Thomas and Anna Craven and patients were seen in the west parlor. The formal parlor, to the east of the entry, leads to the sun porch and through to the dining room, big enough to host everyone at the holidays and then some. In the large kitchen, added on in 1924: a sizable island, breakfast room and, be still our historic hearts, the home’s original cabinetry! The finished basement is big enough to be a home theater. The second floor contains more original floors and unsullied woodwork and four bedrooms including a suite. On three is a 900+ sf suite of dreams. Steam shower, massive closet, sitting area, second laundry, built-ins and its own HVAC. The grounds contain the original carriage house and stable, now a two-car garage, a large outdoor living space with deck, hut tub and pergola and enough room to create your dream landscape or a sparkling swimming pool. The sunniest belle of Mesta Park is ready for her next big moment. She’s got great bones. Will you be the one to guide her into her next exquisite chapter?
