5222 Denton Dr, Dallas, TX 75235

5222 Denton Drive is the second historic home in Oaklawn Heights that artists Brad Oldham and Christy Coltrin have recently renovated. The 2 bedroom, 2 bath 1,391 sf Cottage Tudor home was built in 1940 and completely renovated in 2024-25, adding to its original charm. The owners made artistic and high-end decisions throughout the project to produce a unique rental property they affectionately call Bird House. The detached garage with a second story is what makes this small home very livable. The 350-square foot bonus room and bathroom lend to uses such as an office, studio or guest room. The one-car garage has room for storage and a small workshop on the first floor. Perched atop the newly built two story, detached garage, a custom version of the polished stainless steel BIRD sculpture that first appeared in "The Traveling Man" Deep Ellum installation in 2009 is featured. Conveniently located between downtown Dallas and the medical district, this home was designed for executives and medical professionals who seek a luxury residence without the upkeep. This is a MUST SEE home. Owner pays for landscaping and lawn maintenance as well as installation and removal of holiday lights along roofline of the home. 24-month leases preferred, but not required. The brand-new detached garage with 350-sf studio/guest room with bathroom is a game-changer for this historic home because it thoughtfully adds space and usages.
