The 50th annual Symphony Show House, a 1949 Colonial Revival-style mansion, is open for lovers of music, music education and the latest trends in home interior design through May 21 at 6713 NW Grand Blvd. in Nichols Hills.

With 50 homes over five decades, the fundraiser has raised money for the Oklahoma City Philharmonic and its music education and community engagement with help from the Oklahoma City Orchestra League.

Designers selected for this year’s Show House took inspiration from the traditional style of the home, said Blossom Crews, development director. Visitors will see "luxurious textures and sumptuous furnishings" throughout the main house, "and a bit of the unexpected in the 1,500-square-foot pool house," she said.

"It has more than 2,000 square feet of outdoor entertaining space, and the house itself retains many significant historical and original features," Crews said.

And it's for sale, for $2,990,000.
