As you begin the journey towards finding your dream house, consider house plans with detached garages. While many homeowners may be quick to overlook such plans, we encourage you to consider all the unique functions they can provide. From flexible spaces to unmatched customization potential, you may be surprised at all of the options that a standalone or a detached garage can offer.

When you choose to build or design a home with a detached garage, you open the door to a level of customization that most attached garage plans simply can’t provide. Think about all of the unique enhancements and style that you can add separate from the main house, making your dream home truly one-of-a-kind!
