Oklahoma is so much more than wind sweeping down the plain, rodeos, and tornadoes! It is a thriving, vibrant state with real estate options that range from stately Victorian mansions to small affordable ranch homes complete with garages and basements. Nowhere is the diversity and beauty of Oklahoma more prevalent than in Guthrie, located in the center of the state just north of Oklahoma City. My cousin moved to Guthrie several years ago upon his retirement from the U.S. Air Force. He and his wife had the great fortune of finding their perfect home and it was a masterpiece. The Victorian home was built in 1890 and has over 3,000 square feet, lots of wood trim, hard wood floors, and it is conveniently located near city-center of the town that as a whole is listed as a National Historic Landmark. Famous because of the run for land by settlers, Guthrie was established in 1889 and quickly earned the reputation as a forward thinking, carefully planned town. Early on, amenities like city water, city electric, a transportation system, and even underground parking were put in place. Even today, the beautifully buildings that house local businesses are more like gems decorating streets rather than hubs of retail. With this appreciation of both thoughtful planning when the city grew and its charming beauty, it is no small wonder that a scattering of art galleries and two major museums are part of the landscape. You can find a publishing museum in Guthrie, as well as the Territorial Museum, the stunning Scottish Rite Temple for the Masons, and the Frontier Drugstore Museum. Art galleries include fine arts and a great sampling of Americana.

Another stately turn-of-the-century home is now available on the very street where my cousin lives. The real estate features four fireplaces, incredible wood floors, gorgeous windows, over 2500 square feet, four bedrooms, two baths, and warm gas heat. How much? A great buy at $169,900! You'll love Guthrie †a true land of new beginnings for those ready to start fresh.
