The Ultimate Garage? Car Lovers’ Nirvana in Texas Is the Week’s Most Popular Home

Gather around, grease monkeys! This week’s most popular property on realtor.com® is a gearhead paradise situated on 10 acres just outside Dallas. The Lone Star State spread devoted to all things automotive sped away with the most clicks.

It features professional-grade automotive facilities—including a glass-repair shop and several auto lifts. There’s also a 10-car garage, a car-painting booth, and luxurious entertaining spaces festooned with auto-themed memorabilia.

However, to peer under the hood of this popular property, you’ll need to back up a Brink’s truck. This paradise for car lovers is on the market for $8 million.

If you don’t have that much cash on hand, a different (and cheaper!) automotive-focused property also revved up a fair amount of interest. This brand-new home in Wisconsin has an enormous garage with a gleaming epoxy floor.

In addition to these two fast and furious residences, you also clicked on a Georgia mansion built for the inventor of Crisco, a must-see time capsule in Tennessee, and the Massachusetts home where Lizzie Borden lived after she was acquitted of murder.

Start your engines, and take a spin through this week’s 10 most popular homes for sale.
