1115 NW 42nd St, Oklahoma City, OK 73118

Live in a work of art! Steps away from the heart of the Western Ave District, OKC artist Randy Marks reimagined this 1918 Craftsman bungalow into a living masterpiece. Every fixture, color and texture was selected or forged to covey a timeless era, paying close attention to the movement of light. Randy designed and fabricated bespoke lighting fixtures, sourced handmade Moroccan tile & selected vintage clay paint hues to create a home that doubles as a living canvas. Three bedrooms & one bath live inside a floor plan full of original character and improved spaces including arched doorways, historic windows and hardwood floors. He lovingly improved the space by adding 4 inch open cell foam insulation in all exterior walls, new electrical, new plumbing, new HVAC including new ductwork, and a new roof. A grid-tied solar system, 220 Electric Vehicle outlet and total electric footprint keep the utility costs at a minimum. The original wood double hung windows with all new sash ropes welcome an abundance of natural light while the refinished oak floors ground each room in a rich tone. The spacious living room centers around a restored brick fireplace with Talavera tile and a live edge spalted elm mantle. A new wooden deck is the perfect spot for cool shade in the summer while the front porch and portico provide for easy outdoor entertaining and escape from the Oklahoma weather. A large, fully fenced pet friendly backyard is suitable and zoned for adding an ADU with direct alley access. Situated in the rapidly revitalizing Helm Farm neighborhood with easy access to downtown & just 2 blocks to the Rapid bus line. 1/2 a block to the restaurants, clubs and amenities of the historic Western Avenue District and 5 minutes to the Paseo, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Belle Isle and both Broadway Extension and I-44. Award-winning Wilson Elementary! Unlike any other property in Oklahoma City's urban core, this home is a treasure! Open to tour & meet the artist Friday, July 17 from 6-8pm.
