SAVED!
Want to build a single-story home design with a garage? Come explore our collection of ranch house plans with garages below! Inside many of these designs you'll discover modern, open-concept floor plans, kitchen islands, walk-in pantries, vaulted ceilings, and more.
It depends! If you don't have a car, you might not need one at all. On the other hand, if you're a car enthusiast, you might desire a 3-car garage with extra storage -- or, better yet -- a one-story barndominium plan with shop (i.e. an extra-large garage). Note that house plans with 2-car garages tend to be the most popular.
Anyone who enjoys single-story living and who needs a place to store a vehicle (or something else--garages can be used to store lots of different things). Moreover, minimal stairs (the primary perk of a ranch-style home) might appeal to empty-nesters, or anyone seeking to age in place.
If you don't have a vehicle or need extra storage, a garage might not be worth building. Moreover, given that ranch-style homes are one story, they typically take up more land than a two-story homes. This can make them more costly to build, as land is expensive. So if you're working with a tight budget, or if you're building in the city (or anywhere land tends to be scarce), a ranch-style house might not be for you.
