675 SF Carriage House Garage Apartment Plan with Classic Traditional Character
A thoughtfully designed Carriage House garage apartment featuring full living quarters above a two-car garage, wrapped in timeless Traditional and Cottage-inspired architecture.
This Carriage House / Garage Apartment home plan delivers an ideal balance of efficiency, charm, and long-term flexibility. Designed as a fully functional residence above a spacious garage, this plan works beautifully as an ADU, guest house, rental unit, or private retreat.

The exterior is finished with horizontal lap siding in a classic gray tone, paired with crisp trim and a steeply pitched roof that reinforces its Traditional Cottage appeal. This architectural language references historic carriage houses while offering modern livability and code-compliant functionality.
