Step inside the incredible work of art that is the residence in Oklahoma City. The owner, Joy Baresel, describes her home as a living sculpture that is truly one-of-a-kind. As the listing agent for Engel & Völkers Oklahoma City, Edmond and Norman, Baresel is thrilled to introduce this unique midcentury modern home to the market.
Designed by architect Herb Greene and nestled into a hill overlooking a golf course, the Cunningham House is a masterpiece completed in 1962. With four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a distinctive style, this home is a true gem.
Baresel has listed this incredible property for $1,379,000. Since purchasing the 4,300-square-foot home in 2017 for $798,700, she has made updates to three baths, renovated and expanded the kitchen while staying true to Greene’s original design. The curved walls are made of stucco and cedar, and the ceilings are adorned with cedar as well.
Greene’s emphasis on organic lines and bringing nature inside is evident throughout the home. The property’s beauty caught the eye of renowned photographer Julius Shulman in the 1960s, and it was featured on the cover of Architectural Digest in 1971.
Aside from the stunning interior, the home boasts unique outdoor amenities. The flat roof’s pea-gravel surface and copper tracks create a visually appealing design while also redirecting water to the front of the house. The water then flows into a pool, giving the impression that the house is a water fountain. And don’t forget about the diving board!
Located in the Quail Creek neighborhood, the home offers access to a country club and golf course. The Cunninghams, the original owners, enjoyed dining at the country club, which prompted Baresel to update the kitchen. The upper floor of the home features bookshelves that make up a hallway, as the Cunninghams had a significant art and book collection.
Baresel believes that someone who truly appreciates unique architecture and art will fall in love with this home. The Quail Creek neighborhood’s diversity in architectural styles and mature trees adds to its appeal. Convenient freeway access further enhances the property’s desirability.
