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

Anonymous
I hate the look of front-loaded garages, regardless of the pragmatism of such a feature. According to a well known book on things to use and avoid when designing a house, if you must have a front garage, you should set the garage back a minimum of 6 feet, and ideally 18 feet (so that a car can sit in front of the garage without stepping out.

If you don't like front garages, do you think the design below is fine? To my surprise, I kind of like it. (I don't mind smallish homes)

HUGE picture.

Unusual design but I think it's pretty. I like the wrapped porch.

Yes, sorry about the picture

That house has no design elements of substance so it really doesn't matter

there always has to be one.....

OP, I like it. I really don't like front loaders, but at least this design minimizes the garage's presence in relation to the rest of the house. I also like the porch. It also draws your eye away from the garage.

Nice, but you would still have to step out from the front door, no?
Can you explain this?

20:57 here - if I was building on a small lot, this is the design I'd choose. The minimization of the garage is even better in this picture. I really like it.

How many bedrooms are in there?

This is the first floor plan (it's 60 long, not 80 long).

4 brs, 2 baths plus attached garage on a small lot--sold.

Good luck, OP. Makes me wish my lot was flat. - 20:57

I don't like that the front door is tucked so far back. If there is a way to bring it forward, preferably out more than the garage door
