Garage
Okay, I'll be frank since you're asking for input and opinions.

The house is uninteresting. It basically looks like a commodity 1960's ranch house, designed to be built as cheaply as possible. I understand the plans and rendering are not finished and I assume many things were left out (like, where are the windows for the second-floor master bdrm). Still, when it is time to sell, that house will have some real disadvantages.

The garage is 2X larger than almost anyone wants, which is also going to be a resale problem. At least, arrange the floorplan and construction so that 1/2 of it can easily converted to living space.

It is your house so no-one's opinion matters except your lender (unless you've got cash) and the eventual buyer (unless you plan to die there).

Personally I like it plain. Just a big rectangle. Keep the cost to a minimum. I can always add stuff later, but keep it relatively cheap to get in the door.

I appreciate the input and am curious if I am the only one that likes it.

Oh, and it's not done yet. This was 2 hours of work. Colors to be determined, some columns on the front porch, and something around the windows.
