About this property
Urban Legends Living *Sanitized*
Guests are absolutely sure to enjoy a memorable vacation experience in this beautiful fully-furnished upstairs two-bedroom and one-bathroom historic home on the most unique street in OKC. This wonderful, pet friendly walkable neighborhood is perfect for an evening stroll or walking your beloved pet. It is the perfect location for all your OKC activities.
Located within walking distance to the popular Plaza District with its unique dining, live theatre and shopping opportunities, and to Oklahoma City University where sports, theatre and arts activities abound. Only 2.3 miles from Midtown and Downtown Oklahoma City, Paycom Center to watch the NBA OKC Thunder, the Oklahoma City Convention Center, award-winning Myriad Gardens, and Bricktown Entertainment District. It is an easy drive of only 2.6 miles from the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds and Arena that hosts year-round shows and events. Easy access within 7 miles, are the Oklahoma Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Museum, OKC Zoo, Science Museum Oklahoma and Remington Park Racetrack and Casino.
The home is fully sanitized/disinfected between guests. All touch areas, both high touch and low touch areas are disinfected at each cleaning. Housekeepers use personal protective gear to protect both themselves and our guests. Fabrics/linens/towels are washed at the highest possible temperature and sanitizing detergents. Furniture is disinfected with spray disinfectants. We take cleanliness very seriously! We have always had this standard, because a family member is immunocompromised, so we have always had these practices.
Be your own Barista, enjoy the coffee bar, equipped with coffee maker, cappuccino maker, milk frother, and gourmet, freshly ground coffee with all the accompaniments. Classic furnishings and plush bedding invite you to just come in, relax, and feel at home. Prepare your families favorite meals in our fully-equipped kitchen or party on the private deck, equipped with two grills - your choice of gas-fired or charcoal-fired. Bring your precious pets, where they can enjoy their own vacation in the fenced, grassy garden/yard area. Don't let your family vacation be anything less than exceptional. The very location itself is filled with history. Ask about all the local legends and be amazed by the unique street!

Why they chose this property
Welcome to Harrington House on Carey Place!
Carey Place abounds with urban legends. It is commonly referred to in Oklahoma City as the “Twilight Zone”. Some of the legends include the belief that Carey Place is haunted. It is included in a book of Oklahoma haunted areas that you can read more about. Halloween is a huge event for Carey Place, homes decorated more for Halloween than Christmas, because of this legend. We have so many trick-or-treaters that we actually obtain a parade permit from the City of Oklahoma City that allows us to barricade the street and provide private security to create a huge block party in a safe, fun manner. When my husband and I were in high school, the “Twilight Zone” was the place to come and bring your dates, because when you turn into the street, all you can hear is the sound of your own vehicle and voice. Kind of spooky…
There is a great deal of history regarding Carey Place. As you may have noticed, this two-block street is quite narrow and does not have any curbs. In the late 1920’s and early 1930’s, the street was originally intended to be a streetcar line that was to link the burgeoning downtown with the “distant” new neighborhoods. (Actually, we are only less than 3 miles away from downtown.) The streetcar line never did materialize, and this narrow street was developed, and homes were built. The styles of the homes on this street are unique and not seen anywhere else in Oklahoma City. Carey Place is a designated historical neighborhood. In the 1930s, the adjacent Plaza District was a commercial hub including a movie theater, grocery and drug store, and dress shops. After years of decline in the 1980’s, the Plaza District has seen a major revitalization, with unique shops, bars and restaurants, live theatre, art galleries, and arcade. The developers of this area have been intent on restoring much of its historical character while mixing in innovative and creative properties and venues.

What makes this property unique
This house, now referred to as Harrington House was built in 1935, one of the first to be built on Carey Place. The house was built as a duplex and a garage apartment over the 3-car garage, that continues to this day. You can see copies of the original house plans that hang over the fireplace. Please enjoy reading the complete history in the Carey Place folder on the table. Also read the Haunted Places in OKC book.
We had always wanted to live on Carey Place, and this was a dream come true to actually own a home here. We lived and loved it here for ten years and in fact, stay here on occasion ourselves., especially on Halloween! Still feels like home to us.
We are intent on maintaining its historical character and much of the house has original doors, windows, floors, kitchen cabinets, lighting, and plumbing fixtures. We love this home and living on Carey Place. We hope that you enjoy your stay and thank you for now becoming part of its history, too.
