When Brad Jobe and Brian Ford took on a Tulsa, OK, home flip, they knew it would be no small task.
“It was pretty much a wreck,” says Jobe, a furniture maker. “It hadn’t had any repairs in 30 years.”
But he and Ford, who has a background in homebuilding and reconstruction, clearly saw potential in the 1970 midcentury modern with its beamed ceiling and stone walls in the living room.
They bought the nearly 6,000-square-foot home on a half-acre in July 2021 for $945,000. After renovating the home inside and out, they listed it for $2,675,000 with Blake Loveless of Walter & Associates.
The couple from New York City were visiting Jobe’s family in Tulsa when they spotted the house for sale—but only from the curb.
“We thought, ‘This could be a fun project,’” recalls Jobe, whose custom-furniture designs, draperies, and soft goods have appeared in Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, and Prada stores. “We made the offer in a video and only flew here for the inspection.”
This is their fourth rehab project—following two homes in upstate New York and a New York City apartment. They are living in the Tulsa home until it sells.
Set on a half-acre lot in the Forest Hills neighborhood, the dated property “had some built-ins that were old and awful,” says Ford, who also immediately spotted wasted space.
They tweaked the floor plan and added a bedroom and a full bath (in a former linen closet) in a denlike space off the entry.
“It functions now as a really great guest room,” Ford says. The home now has five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.
They overhauled the kitchen and added custom flooring, a new roof, and new doors, windows, and hardware.
Updating all of the baths with gold fixtures and marble helped bring this home into modern times, as did new HVAC and tankless water heating systems.
Take a look at the newly improved spaces.

Fresh coats of ebony paint by the front doors create a striking entrance, while neutral hues run throughout the home. New light fixtures also bridge the gap between vintage and modern.
Their backyard update focused on the pool area, hardscaping, and landscaping. There’s now an outdoor kitchen and a gym with a half-bath.
