For those (like me) who don't like front garages, is this design OK?

There you go

There's a bunch of houses like this a couple streets over from me. They are butt-ugly and they don't sell well.

OP, that house is lovely. The floorplan is really nice. I like the open kitchen design a lot.

It's a nice house OP. If you like it, do it. Who cares what random internet strangers think? YOU have to live there.

I love it.

I like it too. I would put the garage on the other side though. So when you come out of the drivers side of the car, the house is on the drivers side. Mirror image the house.

OP here. The interesting thing is that the turnkey price is the lowest (or one of the lowest): $259k.

NDI (no, I am not affiliated with them in any way... I just don't have the budget to go any higher)

I would paint the garage door the same color as the house to make it recede a little more

I like front porches to be functional and have usable space for sitting. This design is only about 4-5 feet deep. If it were 6-8 feet deep, then it wouldn't look like it was tacked on for appearance sake only.

I don't like this design.

OP, as a firm believer that the stable/carriage house belong at the back of the estate, I think your design is cute, simple and practical. I would have preferred a garage that can even be seen from the front entrance, but it's hard to do on a small lot.

One point, though - not a fan of living quarters above the garage.

I think the front porch is 6' deep

But most designs with an attached front garage have living quarters above, no? What's the problem? Noise, carbon monoxide?

Yes. But land sold separately.
