Plan Description
Dressed up with a covered front porch and dormer window above, you won’t recognize this carriage house plan. With the outward appearance of a cozy cottage, you’ll never guess there is a two-car garage and large workshop hidden behind its charming façade. Take a second look and you’ll discover a comfortable garage apartment on the second floor. Begin with the 939 square foot garage and workshop on the main level. Here a 10’ ceiling and two overhead garage doors are ready to satisfy your needs. Keep the family vehicles safe from the elements and enjoy woodworking, crafting, gardening or another favorite hobby in the roomy workshop area. A handy side service door provides convenient entry and exit without opening the garage doors. Do you need a way to finance your dream garage? Consider renting out the second floor apartment to a college student or single person earning income to pay off construction. Or use the cozy living spaces for a guest suite, in-law apartment or caretaker’s quarters. Enter from the covered front porch to find a private foyer equipped with laundry facilities and stairs leading to the second level. An open floor plan boasts a compact kitchen complete with pantry and eating bar as it overlooks the living areas where a built-in desk and sloped ceiling add custom-like touches. A comfortable bedroom with full bath and roomy closet are at your service. Don’t miss the attic access for extra storage. Fashioned with country flair, this charming and functional garage apartment plan will satisfy many different needs.
