The Liebman Home, built in 1929 by GA Nichols, is an exquisite Tudor Revival in Oklahoma City’s historic Lincoln Terrace. Beautifully preserved and restored in keeping with architectural heritage, it remains true to the original English-inspired design. Dark mingled brick, steeply pitched gables, half-timbered stucco detailing, a Tudor-arched cut stone entrance and carved stone medallion give the home its distinctive character. Inside, original windows, pristine hardwood floors, substantial millwork, rounded plaster corners and graciously proportioned rooms reveal period craftsmanship. Antique lighting throughout includes a dazzling Art Deco fixture at the entry. Carefully selected Farrow & Ball colors make each space sing. A formal entry opens to a main floor that lives remarkably well, with multiple pathways connecting the living room, dining room, kitchen, powder bath and central hall. Divided-light doors, built-ins and a restored period radiant fireplace add to its character. The renovated kitchen respects the architecture, pairing crisp cabinetry and marble counters with period-appropriate Colefax and Fowler wallpaper. A utility basement adds function. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two baths. The primary is a true suite with a sitting room, separate sleeping area and ensuite bath. The hall bath retains unforgettable original sculptural lavender tile with a graphic black-and-gold border. A gracious covered porch extends the home’s living space outdoors. The grounds are as spectacular as the home. Perennial English gardens by noted Oklahoma City landscape architect John Fluitt unfold through clipped boxwood, flowering borders and garden paths. A two-car detached garage with turnaround is joined by a 210-square-foot finished studio with a bath, ideal as an office, studio or guest space. Nearly a century later, the Liebman Home remains a remarkable expression of Tudor Revival architecture and careful stewardship, and an exceptional opportunity for a new owner.
