Room to Park, Space to Stay: A Custom Garage with an Upstairs Apartment
Surrounded by beautiful woods, this new garage and upstairs apartment brings together practical space and comfortable living. At Rockbridge Homes and Barns, we love helping homeowners create buildings that fit their needs and make the most of their property - and this project does both.
The garage features two oversized doors designed to accommodate taller vehicles. Above, a welcoming apartment provides a comfortable place to stay, with thoughtful details throughout.
Inside the apartment, soft colors, natural wood trim, and plenty of daylight create a warm, relaxed atmosphere. The kitchen features blue-green cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and ample counter space, while the adjoining living area offers room to gather and unwind. A separate bedroom adds privacy and a cozy place to rest.
One of our favorite features is the custom tile shower. Light rectangular tile covers the walls and ceiling, paired with a pebble mosaic floor and coordinating recessed niche. Built-in shelving keeps everyday essentials within reach, combining attractive finishes with practical details. A double vanity and conveniently located stacked washer and dryer round out the bathroom.
Outside, the spacious porch offers a beautiful place to enjoy the surroundings. A covered seating area, wood ceiling, and cable railing make it an inviting spot for morning coffee, a quiet afternoon, or an evening spent taking in the changing seasons. The railing keeps the view open to the trees beyond.
With its board-and-batten exterior, metal roofing, and welcoming porch, this garage apartment feels right at home in its wooded setting. We’re proud to help bring this versatile space to life and grateful to our homeowners for trusting Rockbridge Homes and Barns with their project.
