Mine is the same, but I never considered doing this.
Also, on mine, the door for the air handler/furnace is right there as well so you would be blocking that access to the air handler.. Plus, there is an elevation difference of about 4 inches between there and inside the house itself.
It would be a messy job with the steel studs in there and the insulation, etc. I'm assuming steel studs, but that may be a load bearing wall since the roof over the garage is gabled.
I'd go with the previous poster's suggestion to put sliders inside the garage for that are and use the closet in the garage. Or get those large enclosed, tall cabinets to go in there.
Personally, I think it destroys the look of the foyer - plus, if you have tile in the foyer, that's another whole level of complexity.
I love to modify stuff.
I have a different suggestion - most likely, in your master walk in closet in the master bath the ceiling is really high 10' or so. You have to have a ladder to store anything up high. It would be easy to drop the ceiling to 7' and have a very large storage area there.
Just an idea.....
