Long before Lakewood Park became one of Norman's most sought after addresses, there was a couple with a dream and a plot of land. This home was the very first built in the neighborhood, a lake retreat imagined for a young, growing town. Nearly seventy years later, it is being offered to the public for the first time in its history. There is something rare about a house that has never changed hands outside a family. The bones here tell that story: generous room sizes, real craftsmanship, and a layout built for gathering rather than passing through. Fresh paint and hardwood floors run throughout the downstairs, warming every room they touch. Two of the three bedrooms come with their own private bathrooms, a rare comfort for a house of this era. Two stories anchor the home on nearly half an acre, with two fireplaces to gather around through the seasons. Downstairs, a full sized basement holds a temperature controlled shop, ready for projects and hobbies any time of year (not included in the home's listed square footage). Step out to the balcony and look out over the neighborhood pool, included with ownership of this home, just steps from your own backyard. Only five minutes from the University of Oklahoma campus and the Sam Noble Museum, this address puts football Saturdays, museum afternoons, and campus life within easy reach, all while offering the quiet of an established, tree lined neighborhood. The first family wrote the first chapter here. Now it is time for the next one. Come see what this Lakewood Park original has to offer, and start writing your own story at 2616 Walnut Rd.
