428 Chautauqua Avenue

Welcome to 428 Chautauqua Avenue, where timeless Craftsman character meets the confidence of modern construction. Located in Norman's highly sought-after Chautauqua Historic District, just a short walk to the University of Oklahoma and the football stadium, this exceptional home was taken down to the studs and meticulously rebuilt while preserving the craftsmanship and charm that make homes in this neighborhood so desirable. The quality of this renovation extends far beyond cosmetic updates. Nearly every major component has been updated, including new plumbing to the city main, a completely new electrical system with new panel, reinforced and leveled foundation, spray foam insulation, and a new HVAC system, furnace, and hot water tank (2019). The home is equipped with a 6 kW solar electric system, providing an added energy-efficient feature for the next owner. At the same time, the home's original hardwood floors, handcrafted Craftsman trim, original windows, and soaring 10-foot ceilings have been carefully preserved, creating an open, airy feel while maintaining the warmth, character, and craftsmanship that simply can't be replicated in modern construction. Enjoy a walkable lifestyle just minutes from Lions Park, home of Norman's Summer Breeze Concert Series, the Firehouse Art Center, Midway Deli, Campus Corner, downtown Norman, and highly regarded McKinley Elementary. The property also offers exciting potential for a detached garage with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), subject to City of Norman requirements, Historic District approval, and permitting. Please ask your REALTOR® for the ADU information sheet located in the MLS supplements for additional details. With convenient off-street parking in both the front and rear of the property, this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored historic home that truly lives like new while preserving the warmth, character, and craftsmanship that simply can't be replicated in modern construction.
