Ah...there are things that only exist in the USA!  The paradise of the aviation fans!!
Well, you don't need to situate the house in the fantastic complex of the link. Instead, a lonely, apparently deserted house with a large, leveled and abandoned area, covered now by high grass can hide the hangar of this map... An old wind indicator could be the only clue that the plain in front of the house worked like an aerodrome.
And, after all, if you put there a conventional single-engine light aircraft, like the Cessna 152, with and air cooled engine, traditional carburetor and ignition by magneto you would have less mechanical complexity than in most of the present-day cars... Nice possibility.

There's a housing plan/suburb near Cleveland Ohio that actually has several hangars like this, and was designed so the main street through it could be closed off for use as a runway. I remember thinking it was a ludicrously awesome idea when I read about it in the newspaper a few years ago. Cleveland Plain Dealer I think...
