For the Right Price, Wade Phillips Could Be Your Landlord

After listing his house in 2011 and again in 2014, and again in 2018, former Dallas Cowboy’s head coach Wade Phillips is ready to be a landlord, again.

Phillips’ first listed his Preston Hollow home at 6115 Norway Road after he departed Dallas for Houston in 2011 (he’s now the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams). Built in the Hill Country style by Ryan Osborne, Phillips and his family were the first occupants of the home when they purchased it for $2.75 million in 2007.

Allie Beth Allman has been his Realtor of choice throughout – even for the purchase of the home. The property was listed for $3,295,000 in 2011, and then for $2.95 million in 2014. It was leased for $15,000 in 2015, according to MLS records, and then was placed back on the market in January 2018 for $2.95 million before having a price reduction in October 2018 for $2.85 million, and then one more about a week ago to $2.75 million.

The home is for lease once again for $15,000 a month, and is still for sale as well.

Back in 2011, Candy broke the news that the home had been listed, and described some of the home’s features.

“It has a kind of U-shape, the garage on the left, and that structure on the right is actually a guest house. No kidding,” she wrote. “When they bought the house, they had the builder put the guest house out front at their request, and despite a few objections from the neighborhood.”

“Why did they want the guest house here?” she continued. “It was where Phillips’ mother-in-law was going to live. (What a great son-in-law to go to all that trouble.) Anyhow, she ended up not liking it after all, and moved to a nearby retirement home instead.”

“But you know what, I think it makes guests feel extra special to have the guest house in the front, not back, of the property.”

Other notable features include the cathedral ceiling in the formal living room, the beamed ceiling in the den and kitchen, and the five wood-burning fireplaces.

French doors off the den lead to a beautifully landscaped yard and pool, and the large kitchen has plenty of room for entertaining.

The downstairs master has walk-in closets and a huge master en-suite with a soaking tub and separate shower, plus plenty of vanity space.

The home is within walking distance of St. Mark’s (in fact, you have access to the school’s outdoor sports facilities from the backyard), and is also zoned for Ben Franklin Middle School and Hillcrest High, which are both highly-rated International Baccalaureate schools.
