Actually it's 4 feet! We were just looking for a 2/2 and never gave the garage a thought. That being said, anything that would have had the 2 car garage would have been MANY thousands more than just adding on as we did. That was my only complaint with this pace but now it is resolved and I can spend what's left of our life without my wife hearing my b1tching about the garage!

Yea, until she finds something else she is not happy with

All kidding aside thanks for sharing those photos. I found it interesting on how they expanded your garage.

It was ME unhappy with the garage not her. I was the complainer.

I stretched a 3 car garage on the new house, I can park two SUVs, a sedan and a 4 seater golf cart. We wanted space for storage and the vehicles. I have seen the cart parked sideways behind a car in my mother in law’s village.

Same here...golf cart sideways in back, a Kia Sorento in front of it and Beetle in the other slot. Since we use the golf cart only for golf, not a big deal to back out the Kia to retrieve the cart a couple of times a week.

Garage 23 ft wide 19 ft deep with 18 ft door. Fits a Subaru Forester and a VW Golf and a golf car side by side, Cannot open door to full width but at least a couple of feet between vehicles.

I think I would look for the 2.5. I have two cars and park one golf cart behind one car. Have to push cart to the other side of the garage if I want to move the one car. This car has very little use so not a big problem. However my garage might be a little wider than a lot of models as the front of the golf cart touches the side wall. I also added 4 feet to my garage length so I could do this. Plenty of room left to walk in front of cars. I could park a second cart behind the other car but it would be a little hard to get each cart in and out.

We've been here 17 years. We have a Williamsburg with a Two car and kick ourselves all the time for not putting on a Golf Cart garage when we had the house built. We originally had a Buick, a Corvette and a Golf cart in the garage. Had to move the Golf cart out, back out MY Corvette, put the golf cart back in and go. Then reverse it when I got home. Pain in the neck. Go with a Two car garage (or three if you can find it) and a golf cart garage. You won't regret it! We now have one car and the cart and it's fine. We put in a row of cabinets to store all the "stuff"!

If you shop around, I am sure you can find a house with a 2.5 car garage in your price range. It just doesn't make sense to buy anything else if you want to park 2 cars and a golf cart.

Not quite sure what, if anything, we are doing at this point but thanks for everyones comments.

Got a neighbor with a 2.5, stores 3 corvettes in it--their daily cars are in the driveway--no golf cart

I bought a home with a "stretch garage". I said that is a "stretch" to call that a stretch garage! I can get a car and 2 carts in the garage.

We have a stretched 1-1/2 car garage. Have one car, two golf carts, one Harley, one lawnmower and a work bench. Where there is a will, there is a way...

The Subaru is used mainly for driving down from RI (damn dog) so the cart golf would be behind the Subaru. We will be doing all of our measurements before we commit but I was just wondering if others are doing this and how it is working out.

You will end up getting multiple door dings on your vehicles . Simply because accidents do happen and unavoidable. Getting in and out of the vehicles plus the possibility of scratches from various objects.

Spend the extra save yourselves many headaches ...in the long run " Peace of Mind ".
