2719 Hollywood Ave, Norman, OK 73072

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.nThis 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 Henkles 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.
