About this property

A Legacy Home: Where Oklahoma History Resides. For the first time in nearly half a century, a truly extraordinary residence graces the market - a home with a history as rich and vibrant as the state itself. Built in 1929, for Lt. Gov. William J. Holloway (according to neighborhood lore), this architectural gem has witnessed an unexpected twist of fate, before Holloway could enjoy his new home he ascended to the Governor's Mansion following the impeachment of his predecessor. Its walls have since echoed with the voices of Oklahoma luminaries: Skirvin Hotel owners, a Supreme Court Justice, and Gov. Roy Turner. Now, after 49 years of devoted stewardship by the Meredith family, instrumental in the State Historical Society, this iconic home invites you to write your own chapter in its storied narrative. Nestled on a sprawling double lot, the original two-story structure showcases classic Four Square architecture infused with Mediterranean elegance - arched windows, a gracefully tiled roof, and timeless charm. Step inside to discover a formal living room, dining room, and kitchen on the main level, while upstairs, four bedrooms and two full bathrooms await. In 2005, a masterful addition transformed the home, creating a dramatic formal entry at the apex of a grand circular driveway. This expansion introduces a stunning library/study, a convenient 3/4 bathroom, and a magnificent family room with a wet bar, seamlessly blending historical authenticity with modern luxury. Outside, mature gardens create a sensory masterpiece, showcasing Oklahoma's most beloved flora. A pergola-shaded patio with a built-in fire pit offers the perfect setting for gatherings, while a fenced yard provides ample space for recreation. For extended stays or multi-generational living, a separate 997 sq ft guest house offers unparalleled comfort and privacy (not included in listed sqft). This is more than a home; it's a living piece of Oklahoma history. Seize this rare opportunity to own a legacy.
