My fun Tulsa home seller was getting tired and grouchy about all the work, so she sent me this photo of a bedroom she was asked to paint - she spelled out, "Lori is GROOVY!" Enjoy the laugh!

Detached Garages and Porte-Cochères loved in midtown Tulsa
In many areas of midtown Tulsa, you'll discover that detached garages are the norm. To us, this is visually appealing and we're willing to sacrifice the convenience of transferring groceries through an attached garage. With no garage attached to the garage, you're apt to find nicely landscaped patio areas beside our homes or side porches, both open or screened in.
It's also easier to add living quarters above a detached garage and many midtown Tulsa homes DO have living quarters that are rented out. Detached garages can also lower the cost of your homeowner's insurance because you are reducing the changes of a garage fire spreading to your primary living area. Because they are two separate dwellings, in some instances, the utilities are separate also.
Our home was built in 1915 and instead of a garage, we have a detached carriage house. Thought to have originally housed servants, our family has rented out the carriage house over the years.
Detached Garages and Porte-Cochères loved in midtown Tulsa
You'll also find porte-cochères on the exterior of many midtown Tulsa homes. The literal French translation of porte-cochère is "coach gate" and is the architectural term for a portico-like structure at a main or secondary entrance through which a horse carriage or motor vehickle can pass in order for the occupants to alight under cover, protected from the weather. We have a porte-cochère adjoining the large covered front porch of our casa that is simply breath-taking.
Our midtown Tulsa homes offer elegant architecture rich in history. Drive by or take a walk down our sidewalks - do stop and visit if we're sipping tea on the porch!
