Art-Inspired Design

A woodland gem shines in Stillwater

It’s all about the details in this home just outside downtown Stillwater. Steve May, president of Classic Home Design, Inc., and his son Brandon, vice president, pride themselves on encouraging homeowners to think outside the box. “I wanted to show people what you can do with unbridled creativity,” Steve says. Did he ever! From the custom-made knotty alder front door to the granite waterfall in the lower level, this 6,780-finished-square-foot home is a stunner.

Perfect for the avid entertainer, the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home has plenty of room to roam—for both two- and four-legged friends. A separate pet entry off the garage provides access to the doggie wash. Just beyond, visitors can choose between gathering in the pentagon-shaped dining room, which is set apart from the rest of the main-level spaces by massive custom pillars, or retreating to the lower level, where a full kitchen, wet bar, theater room, and exercise room with tanning bed awaits. “I like creating homes that have that ‘wow’ factor,” Steve says. “That’s the stuff people remember long after they leave.” But with this home, they just might decide to stick around for good. —A.K.
