The Listing of the Week is a Mediterranean-Santa Fe style home, Gold-certified for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, in northwest Oklahoma City's Rose Creek neighborhood.
The two-story, 8,450-square-foot home at 17515 Prairie Sky Way was a showplace when built in 2011 by Mike Gilles, of Savannah Builders, the Eco-Tech Home — and an Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. Positive Energy Home of the Future.
The home, with a walkout basement, has 185 feet of 1880s hand-hewn wood beams, Amish-crafted cabinets, 2,500 square feet of reclaimed hardwood floors, a 20-foot vertical wall garden and counters made from 6,000 pounds of recycled glass — plus the original back bar from O'Connell's Irish Pub & Grille in Norman. Other green features include 10-inch concrete exterior walls, ClimateMaster geothermal heating and cooling and a 30,000-gallon rain harvesting system.
The home has five bedrooms, four baths, two halfbaths, three living rooms, four dining areas, a safe room and an attached five-car garage. The family room has a wet bar. The gourmet kitchen has a breakfast bar, island, pantry and skylight, and overlooks a family room with kiva fireplace. The home has a private mother-in-law suite.
The master bedroom has a framed-out recessed bed and large picture window, walnut floors, sitting area, a 20-by-40-foot master closet, and a bath with double vanities, an oversize whirlpool tub, multihead shower, hand-painted Talavera tile, dry sauna and coffee bar. Three secondary bedrooms have full baths; two have walk-in closets.
The fully screened lania has a large outdoor kitchen equipped with a large grill, sink, blender and storage. A three-tier theater room can seat 20-plus guests.
