Well, it is indeed an attention-getter among the relatively homogenous design of most of the TV models.

Though I have not seen the home in real life, from the picture it looks like they have made good design choices to make their addition mesh with the original house.

Even though it looks so much bigger than the home, the siding, the shingles, the roof pitch, and the trim blend in rather nicely.

The doors are in the style of carriage house doors — a highly traditional garage door design that I happen to favor because of its added detail, including those high windows which let in light. And that looks like a very nice driveway, too.

Landscaping will buffer the stark surprise that is causing great consternation in the land right now.

I seriously doubt that such a structure was built by a hoarder to move a mess of stuff from a northern basement.

Even though it is none of our business, I must admit to speculating about the contents. My first thought was at least one antique car, but that is because I am a big fan of cruise-ins and always wonder where those glorious machines are kept. (I have always said to Mr. Boomer that if we had room, I would be so tempted to find a ‘59 Cadillac or a ‘57 Chevy or a ‘55 (I think) T-Bird to treasure. (sigh) But it is not going to happen so I will just continue to admire them from a distance. Besides, I, a woman, have other priorities when choosing a home.)

But — c’mon you guys — I bet a lot of you would love to have that garage. In fact, with some men, it could be the WOW! factor that would get them to move to TV.

If the house were to be for sale, perhaps its market would be more narrow than for the more traditional homes, but I can tell you right now, it would sell fast and at a premium.

And that is the end of my dissertation on why I think the garage house is interesting, and things will turn out just fine for it.
