One Owner - Designed and Built by Engineer husband and artist wife (which shows in the design) as their personal residence and is Over-Engineered in virtually every way.  They built this home in Texas, then recreated, and perfected it when they were transferred to Bartlesville.

Built on an earth covered stone knoll, this Custom Designed and Custom Built Designer Home was Engineered to be Earthquake Resistant with three times the normal amount of iron rebar in the single continuous pour (including garage) floating concrete slab. The single pour leaves no cracks or seams and prevents moisture and insect infiltration. The slab was designed to float and move as a single unit and has virtually no cracks that we have been able to locate.

This house was designed and constructed to maximize the wooded view, storage, functionality, and flows beautifully.

Custom Brick Courtyard with New Orleans Vieux Carré inspired Custom Designed and Custom Built Wrought Iron Gates, Security Doors and extensive trim work.  The circular lattice brick walls around the private front courtyard provide privacy but allow a view of the outside. Lighting built into the brick pillars give a wonderful ambiance for evening events in the courtyard.

You can easily see out, but it is difficult for anyone to see in from the street. The brick columns between segments of the exterior wall have surface and recessed lighting.  Even the front brick planters by the circular drive have lighting built in for a warm evening glow.  The two sets of wrought iron courtyard gates were custom designed and built by the owners.  The wife designed the gates and the husband built them.  They are hand made, truly one of a kind.

One Owner Home.  Built by an Engineer and artist as their own personal residence, they first built this house in Texas, then refined, perfected and rebuilt a second version when Phillips Petroleum Company transferred them to Bartlesville. Virtually every feature that can be imagined has been designed into this magnificent home! 

This house is Over-engineered and Ultra-Engineered.  It features 3 times the normal amount of iron rebar in the foundation and the concrete was poured in a single continuous pour.  This makes it stronger with no seams to permit moisture or pest infiltration. It was designed as a "Floating Slab" to resist damage from earthquake movement.  It is the strength that would normally be built for a multi-floor apartment complex. 

 

Hurricane Straps (not required in Bartlesville) secure the roof. 

The house features 2 X 6 walls, heavily insulated exterior walls and the whole structure was designed to support a Second Story if one were ever desired.  Additionally, all the windows feature double framing on the top and both sides so that window treatments may be secured in solid wood rather than sheet-rock, and so that you have extra room on both sides to securely anchor curtain tie-backs.  As an extra bonus, the framing across the top of the window is extended extra wide so that drapery and rods can be moved outside the window area and have rock solid support, permitting a wonderful amount of light to fill the home. 

 

The Electrical System features wiring that is one gauge heavier than required.  Three conductor grounded outlets in areas likely to need grounding (motors, appliances, etc.).  Over-sized electrical circuit panel (located in the closet in the bedroom next to the master) has plenty of space for additional circuits available if desired. Be sure to look underneath kitchen and living room shelving and inside cabinets, because in addition to the visible electrical outlets, numerous hidden outlets and/or lighting exist, some pressure switches turn on the lights when doors are opened (audio/visual cabinet under LR shelving) and all rooms feature many more outlets than normal. 

 

Security System is owned, not rented, and features sensors, over the front entry siren and flashing lights. For both the security system and intercom, both are believed to work, however are not warranted.  The wrought iron doors on the front entry are both beautiful, locking and fully functional.  

 

Installed as a precautionary measure, French drains and swales were added when the house was constructed to facilitate drainage away from the foundation and the yard features underground drainage.  The gentle slope and over an acre of surface area is Ideal for a Water Catchment System for no cost irrigation.  Lawn company has been maintaining the yard for $90.00 per month (may be subject to change).

 

This house has an over-sized two car garage with a wall of built-in storage, dual overhead doors with mail catch box and two pedestrian doors which could be used to access the bonus room without going through the living area, which could be a bonus for Home Businesses.  Extra Tall Ceilings.  The attic is fully lighted and has a security light to warn if you've left the attic lights on.

 

Fire hydrant unobtrusively located immediately south of the south driveway.  Many insurance companies price their policies based on a number of factors including distance to the nearest fire hydrant.  This and the brick exterior can have a beneficial effect on the price you pay for insurance.

 

Numerous extra features that might not be readily visible include a built-in sewing machine and desk with panels that open permitting the user to be seated with an area for their legs and speed control (easily converted to a second desk) with fold-out side panel.  Bottom drawers are mounted on wheels to permit the entire drawer (used to hold fabric, etc.) to be pulled anywhere in the room.  Top cabinets are fully functional for off-season items. 

The kitchen and bathroom feature recessed electrical plugs so that wall clocks may be fully powered without the need to change batteries.  There is a built-in holder for the vacuum, corner lazy Susans, pull out drawers (built far before such features were common).  Be sure to open all the doors to check for features, (note the door and drawer on the left end of the counter to the kitchen) but remember, the door under the sink is a "Push to Open" door. 

There is even a brick screen panel outside the side garage pedestrian door to hide the garbage cans, yet permit easy access - no unsightly trash cans to hide in the garage or behind the house, yet kept neatly out of view.

 

The owners frequently sat outside enjoying their juice, coffee or meal on their lattice covered Lanai, accessed from both the Master Bedroom and the Living Room, the lattice provides filtered light and wonderful views.

Wildlife abounds. Deer, quail and wild turkeys have been regularly seen. This area is located on a hilltop that is surrounded by low heavily wooded flood plains that may go underwater for a day or two once every few years. The house always has access, however the flood plain and local flood plain regulations, assure that this surrounding area is quite likely to remain wooded and undeveloped.
