518 S Portland Avenue

Designed as a private Oasis, 518 South Portland Avenue in Newcastle is a rare convergence of luxurious engineering, artistic expression, and enduring craftsmanship, custom built in 2013 and surrounded by 10 acres of secluded Oklahoma landscape, just minutes from modern conveniences. Accessed by a private road shared by only four residences, the approach immediately signals intention and permanence. This is not a property that announces itself loudly it reveals itself gradually, rewarding those who value privacy, restraint, and thoughtful design. Though discreetly positioned behind an existing development, the setting feels entirely removed, offering a sense of separation that is increasingly rare. Constructed using ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) technology, the home reflects a deliberate commitment to performance and longevity. This method provides superior energy efficiency, strength, and sound attenuation, creating a living environment that feels solid, quiet, and grounded. The engineering here is not merely functionalit is foundational to the homes character. Inside, the home unfolds with calm confidence. Three bedrooms and three and a half baths are arranged to balance openness with retreat, allowing each space to feel intentional rather than incidental. The flow of the home is intuitive, designed to support daily living while preserving privacy where it matters most. A spacious living room anchors the interior, offering scale without excess and comfort without compromise. It transitions seamlessly into a large dining area, creating an environment well suited for both everyday moments and elevated gatherings. Natural light, proportion, and materiality work together to create spaces that feel composed and inviting rather than overdesigned. The transition from outdoors to indoors is equally refined. A side entry opens into a beautifully painted mud area, a functional space elevated through thoughtful detail. Nearby, a dedicated laundry area supports the rhythm of daily life without intruding on the homes aesthetic continuity. The kitchen is a true centerpieceboth visually compelling and highly functional. Beautiful granite countertops provide richness and durability, while two oversized islands with cabinetry establish the kitchen as a central gathering space rather than a secondary one. A built-in gas cooktop and double ovens support both everyday cooking and entertaining with ease. Throughout the main living areas, modern, Slate flooring grounds the home in durability and understated elegance, reinforcing a design philosophy that values longevity over trend. Together, these finishes create an environment that feels artistic yet deeply livable, where design enhances comfort rather than competing with it. The homes private spaces further reflect its intentional design. The primary suite is privately positioned on its own side of the home, offering a true sense of retreat. This separation is not accidentalit is a defining feature of the layout, creating a sanctuary within the residence itself. Within the primary suite, beautifully painted, artistic wood detailing adds warmth, individuality, and a sense of craftsmanship that cannot be replicated in production construction. The accompanying primary bathroom is spa-inspired, featuring a whirlpool soaking tub and an elegantly tiled shower, creating a space designed for restoration and calm. On the opposite side of the home, two additional bedrooms are placed at opposite ends of a private hallway, each enjoying its own sense of space and quiet. Nestled between them is a beautifully finished secondary bathroom, along with a closet featuring custom shelving, forming a refined secondary wing that supports privacy while maintaining cohesion. Subtle conveniences reinforce the homes custom nature. A central vacuum system is seamlessly integrated, enhancing daily ease without visual distraction. These are the kinds of features that do not call attention to themselvesbut quietly elevate the experience of living in the home. The exterior continues the same language of durability and design. Metal siding and a metal roof were selected for longevity and low maintenance, ensuring the home performs as beautifully as it presents. An attached two-car garage supports practicality without compromising architectural integrity. Both the covered front porch and covered back patio span the length of the home, creating outdoor living spaces that feel expansive and intentional.
