816 NW 40th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73118

Do you find yourself in search of the ultimate, quiet-luxury crown jewel? It’s right here. This sublime home in sparkling Crown Heights is situated on one of the loveliest leafy streets in the neighborhood, waiting for someone like you who understands quality and eschews the loud or brash. Details so exquisite and subtle that they speak for themselves. You feel it upon approach: a flagstone pathway leads to the original arched front door, sheltered beneath a wonderfully patinaed copper awning. Inside, walls and trim are done in a restrained palette, mostly white and cream, drawing visual focus to the historic details everywhere in this home: Klinker brick exterior, regal dentil crown molding, exquisite paneling in the library/office and truly lovely rock fence in the backyard. Wood-burning fireplace, gorgeous herringbone parquet floors and pitched ceilings in the sun washed family room. Dining room walls are a moody, soft color reminiscent of a classic shade called Mountbatten Pink. In the living room, elegant proportions and extravagant trim play nicely against original hardwoods and classic eight-over-eight windows. Let’s talk about the kitchen for a moment. Its to-the-studs remodel is perfect: Ilve Italian range, Calcutta Viola marble, custom, hand-painted inset Shaker cabinetry, Allied Maker wall sconce and pendants, Rohl sink and faucet and more. Its walls are treated with Portola Limewash, natural brush-applied coating dries to create a beautiful, weathered patina. Each bedroom is a suite and there are three. Multiple roomy closets including a large walk-in, plus a second, cedar-lined closet, in the primary suite. Finished basement with powder bath (included in square footage). There’s an updated garage apartment with full bath, not counted in square footage. The grounds are home to a pergola, new sparkling pool and hot tub and plenty of living space. It’s a beautiful investment, a stately home and a gift you’ll appreciate as it continues to appreciate.
