Property Description

Tucked away at the quiet end of Hollywood Avenue where it gently curves into Hollywood Circle, this one-of-a-kind midcentury modern retreat offers rare privacy and timeless design. This architectural gem was custom designed and built by James Henkle, a University of Oklahoma faculty member and accomplished fine art furniture maker whose work is preserved in the Smithsonian archives. This home is a true work of art, with all original cabinetry handcrafted by Henkle himself, showcasing his exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. In the dining room, a built-in display case across from the French pellet stove highlights several of his furniture models discovered during the home's restoration. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite the outdoors in, while flagstone floors add warmth and texture, enhancing the home's organic connection to its natural setting. Situated on a wooded lot backing to the creek and greenbelt, the property offers unmatched tranquility and a sense of peaceful seclusion. Lovingly preserved, this home retains its original character while offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of functional art. Two storage sheds provide additional space, including one outfitted with the original exhaust fan used during Henkle’s woodworking days. With minimal traffic and a setting that feels worlds away, this special property is a sanctuary for those seeking beauty, history, and harmony with nature. Ask your Realtor for a copy of the article published in Oil and Wood (included with the disclosures), to get more details and color photos of Henkle’s art as featured in an exhibition at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. Home is being sold AS-IS and Seller requests closing to be after Memorial Day. Seller will review all offers AFTER the open house on Sunday. Don't let this one get away!
