you need to look at this a couple of ways:

#1 what is the personal satisfaction that you'll gain if you have a garage (i.e. what are you presently tolerating that you won't have to anymore)

#2 find out from a Real Estate professional what the impact will be to the resale value
this will give you an idea on your ROI (also get their thoughts on whether the design is going to increase or decrease the 'curb appeal for your property)

#3 find out what the impact will be to your home insurance and real estate taxes

Good luck
