Today’s buyers still want an open floor plan, a large kitchen island, split bedrooms, an indoor laundry, outdoor living space ... and a three-car garage. As designers know, that two-car garage space isn’t always for cars, it’s often for storing stuff. An extra one-car space may house a golf cart, motorcycle (or two), kayaks, or other recreational items. Common 45-foot-wide single-family homes are always on the boards, but maybe this solution with a clever three-car garage will make your homes stand out from the competition.
