230 E 18th Street

Rich in history and architectural character, this Prairie Style residence with Italian Renaissance details sits on a rare double lot in the heart of Maple Ridge. Built in 1922 for Tulsa’s first Cadillac dealer, D.D. Wertzberger, and later home to the Betty Rombough School for more than 60 years, the property has lived many lives. Nearly 30 years ago, the current owners purchased it directly from the school and have since painstakingly restored nearly every detail, returning it to its grandeur as a private residence.<br />The main home offers four bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath. A finished basement provides additional flexible living space with its own full bath, while a detached three-car garage includes a one-bedroom guest apartment complete with living room, full kitchen, laundry, and bath.<br />Notable features include five gas fireplaces, exquisite original millwork, a parlor with chandelier, and a distinctive log cabin-patterned floor. The kitchen blends historic charm with modern amenities, featuring exposed brick, custom cabinetry, and Sub-Zero drawers.<br />The landscaped grounds span nearly half an acre, offering a manicured private oasis with an inground swimming pool. Major investments provide peace of mind, including a Ludowici green clay tile roof—renowned for its century-long durability—installed just three years ago, along with newer HVAC systems and upgraded drainage tied to French drains.
