When Is a Three Car Garage Really a Four Car Garage?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with HomeRome Realty 410-530-2400 311291

When is a three car garage a four car garage? Let's begin to count.

1974 Excalibur

First, there is the cute little metallic light brown 1974 Excalibur convertible. It has only 4,000 miles on it, but I bet they were all fun miles.

Lincoln Continental and Cadillac Convertible


Next is the 1964 red convertible Lincoln Continental with the "suicide doors." (Front-opening doors are called "suicide doors" because, if the door becomes unlatched while the car is moving, the air pressure will pull the door open and make it impossible to close.) This is the same model car, but black of course, that Kennedy rode in on that fateful day in
Dallas.

Cadillac Limo and Excalibur 

Limo Interior with TVs

Number three is a 1992 six-door Cadillac Superior stretch limousine. There are two TVs in the back, facing opposite directions. Two of those six doors open only from the inside.

Red Cadillac Convertible


The last is a 1967 Cadillac, also a red convertible. Each of these beauties has been restored with all new leather, new tops and custom paint. I am sure others could give a lot more details on these toys, but these four certainly remind us that the only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys!

This oversized three car garage actually has all four of these autos inside. The garage is a beauty by itself. Built 10 years ago, it has heat and air conditioning, windows, electricity and automatic doors that can also be controlled from inside the home. An insulated attic and finished walls make this four-door garage a wonderful space for a home office, art studio, workshop, hobbies and maybe even for some lucky person... a place to house a special auto or toy collection. Security is maintained by the lighting and surveillance cameras. This freestanding structure makes a nice addition to the custom built home at 3317 Old Post Drive.

Houses with monster outbuildings or garages are the best to sell....the men don't care if there is a kitchen, they are already busy writing the earnest money check !

Are the cars for sale?  I know a collector who would probably love to look at some of these cars. 

 

BTW- if you add some plumbing to this garage it sounds like it could be a living space too...

I had a neighbor at my last home with a similar garage who restored old cars.  These are beautiful.  I bet the house is nice too.

Robert, Thanks for being the first to comment. Would you like to make an offer on the Lincoln?

Mark, Would you like me to get the exact dimentions so you could measure?

Brenda, They are some cool cars.

Fred, So do I only have to advertise the garage and not the house?

Richard,  I just checked and the 1971 T-Bird was the last American production automobile to feature rear suicide doors. Do you have any photos of his cars?

Sally, Hope we get some of those guys. BTW, the house has a really big kitchen.

C Tann, I would love to show these cars to your boys!

Zane, When you purchase the garage, we will throw the house in.  Have to check the engine size.

Josef, Please have your investor give me a call or better bring him to Baltimore when you visit. Would love to show the cars off. Plumbing could be added and the space is completely finished.

Tammy, The house, in need of some TLC, is a very special home!

Jeff, They could convey if you bought the house. You would look pretty cool in that Excalibur.

BB, When I am preparing the contract for the sale of the house, how many cars would you like to include?

Any possibility of some of the cars being included in the sale? 

That is one huge garage. 

Very nice. 

The house itself appears to be quite large.  I didn't see the sq footage but from the looks of it, lots and lots of space.

This is going to be the exact perfect home that someone is looking for.

Now, Margaret, I hope your sellers realize the extent to which you go to market their home.  This is great.  And the cars may convey if the price is right?  Sweet!
