A 1918 historic home with a backyard built for fun. Once home to noted Oklahoma sculptor Jack Nortz, this beautifully preserved house blends original character with everything you need for a great group stay.

The fully fenced backyard features a lighted pickleball and basketball court—the first private pickleball court in Oklahoma. There is also a putting green, brick patio w/ fire pit, grill, and back deck. It’s the kind of backyard that makes staying home just as much fun as going out on the town.
