Car lovers, here is the house for you.
You love your cars, all of them. Your neighbors? Not so much.
Here’s where this house at 126 S. Montreal in Dallas will allow you to own up to five cars, getting them off the street and your annoyed neighbors off your back. The home’s detached garage will house two cars, and the carport will shelter three more. There’s just no reason to clog up the streets and tick off the neighbors with this kind of car storage. The property could be Ideal for someone collecting cars like Jay Leno’s $51.5M car collection — classic cars, motorcycles, or automotive projects.
Shiny as a New Car
There’s plenty of room here for showcasing cars or working on them. But even if you’re without Jay’s 1934 Duesenberg Walker Coup or his 1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing Coup, you’ll find room to store a van, RV, motorcycle, or heck, those ever-growing heaps of Christmas decorations.
The driveway gate has horizontally-designed slats that hide the cars behind it while adding some curb appeal, too, according to Realtor Emily Ruth Cannon with Dave Perry Miller & Associates.
“The gate toward the carport is fancy,” Cannon said. “There’s an industrial carport along the side of the house, then the two-car garage as well. It adds something from the street view, and it adds curb appeal and privacy.”
As shiny as a new car, the house’s interior is something to show off like one just driven off the lot. Built in 1945, the 1,560-square-foot house has been updated. The renovations found throughout the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house include flooring, fresh paint, and a roof. Granite countertops are found in the kitchen with a breakfast bar, while the spa-like primary suite features an oversized walk-in shower.
Popular Sunset Hills
The house is located in the popular Sunset Hills neighborhood of Oak Cliff, an area with a variety of architectural styles, built mostly between 1913 and the 1940s. The neighborhood is near trendy areas such as Bishop Arts and Trinity Groves, known for their eclectic mix of boutiques, restaurants, and cultural gatherings — worthy reasons to back the car out.
Now, car lovers, you should know this house has another benefit. It’s less than two blocks from Jefferson Boulevard, where classic cars cruise every Sunday evening, drawing gawkers. Walk there, and eye your next obsession.
“I go there with my three sons and check out the classic cars,” said Cannon, who herself lives nearby.
Who knows? Living in this house with your cars neatly remaining parked on the property, maybe your neighbors will love you enough to bring a casserole to your housewarming. And then you could take them for a spin around your block in one of the items from your collection.
