Real estate prices being what they are in Silicon Valley, I've been living with a 2-car garage for years. I finally decided it was time to upgrade. We considered building a bigger garage and a pool at our existing home, but that meant unpredictable permitting process and 18-24 months of construction. We decided to look at homes for sale in the area with a larger garage.
It turns out it's a *terrible* time to be selling new construction - prices are seriously depressed. This means it's a *great* time to be buying. Things got a little out of hand. After some looking around, this evening I signed the purchase contract for our new home. It's got a 6-car garage, and a pool, and MDA for another 4-car garage if we want it. And, a few other things as well
The house:
30' x 28' Garages:
The left garage detail -- for scale, each floor section is 10'x10':
Back deck & outdoor BBQ kitchen:
Pool:
Game room & sports bar:
Gym room & sauna (w/security cam view of deck):
And, what the heck, a movie room:
I still can't believe I am going to move into this place in November. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!
