COOL Plan Description
Country Garage Plan 59479 with 2-Car Parking, Vaulted Loft, 240 Sq Ft Porch and Workshop Potential
Country Craftsman Garage Plan 59479 is no ordinary place to park the cars. This detached 2-car garage delivers 780 square feet of enclosed space, two oversized garage doors, a vaulted upper-level bonus area, and a generous 240-square-foot covered porch. With classic Farmhouse styling and plenty of flexibility for hobbies, storage, and projects, this design is a stellar addition to a country home, suburban property, or weekend retreat.
The exterior has the kind of timeless American character that looks right at home beside a Craftsman bungalow, Country Ranch, or Modern Farmhouse. Clean lines and a balanced 4:12 roof pitch create an attractive profile, while the covered porch adds something unexpected: a comfortable outdoor destination attached to your garage.
That 240-square-foot porch opens up some choice possibilities. Add a couple of chairs for relaxing after a project, create a shaded place to enjoy the backyard, or use it as a comfortable spot to take a break from working in the garage. It's a feature that gives this detached building considerably more personality than a typical utility structure.
Inside, two 9-foot-wide by 8-foot-high overhead doors provide convenient access to the 780-square-foot garage. There's room for two vehicles, with additional possibilities for tools, lawn equipment, bicycles, outdoor gear, and hobby supplies. Whether you're maintaining the family cars, restoring a classic, or organizing a home workshop, this building offers valuable space away from the main house.
The staircase at the rear leads to a substantial upper bonus attic with a vaulted ceiling reaching approximately 11'6" at its peak. That impressive height gives the space an open feeling and creates possibilities for organized storage or other approved hobby uses. Any conversion into finished living space would require appropriate modifications and local building approval.
A slab foundation and stick-framed roof provide a conventional construction approach. The separate structure can help homeowners expand parking and storage capacity without altering the main residence.
Interested in creating a garage apartment or private studio upstairs? Our talented team can help explore modifications, including the access, utilities, and code requirements associated with a residential conversion. The standard design provides a bonus attic rather than a finished apartment.
With its oversized doors, vaulted bonus space, generous porch, and classic Craftsman personality, Plan 59479 is one boss garage for homeowners who want more than a place to park.

Q:Could you tell me what the midway distance is between the peak of the roof and the gutter line? Thank you...Joe
A:Hello,
To answer the clients question, on the main roof (12” in 12” roof pitch), the measured midway distance between the peak (ridgeline) of the roof and the gutter line (@ the fascia bd) is about 9’-10”. Otherwise, the distance from the midpoint of the main roof (12” in 12” roof pitch) to the grade is approximately 18’-3”. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with.
Thank you,
Jaycee
