Evergreen, Colorado | Heather Graham & Sean Endsley, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty
A personal vehicle is a ticket to freedom—one of the best ways to explore the world at speed—but for many, it’s also a prized possession that represents much more than a mode of transportation. For those who relish the scent of motor oil and take every opportunity to get behind the wheel, the garage is as important a space in the home as the kitchen or living room. For the car enthusiast, an extensive shop means multiple vehicles and plenty of space to work on them.
The following homes not only feature roomy garages, but they also manage to merge functionality with style—a feat that takes a little elbow grease and a lot of inspiration.
