Im looking at about 1150 square feet of living space above (2 BR/2BTH) with a lot of garage down below - probably to exceed 1100 square feet, parking for 4 or more plus mower, etc.
I hope to either install an elevator or at least provide for a future addition of one in the design - we will see what the draftsman comes up with.
That design sounds like a bungalow on top of a garage, not too nice looking. A guy around the corner had a large house with three garages on the side, nice looking. He decided to modify it to accept ten cars, it did not look to good at all, a year later he died and it took two years to sell the house. You can fake the bottom floor to look like a regular house but anyone thinking of buying it knows it is not real. A house has to look and be saleable or you do not get good money in the end.
