Garage overload

I would have loved to build something like that.... but holy shit does it look bad.

3+ car garage needs to be on a big lot if front facing, or turn that shit sideways. Imagine shoveling that driveway.

Change my mind

Would prefer the extra two car garage as a tandem, rather than side to side.

I quite like that house in Langdon,
Missed opportunity adding a loft above the second garage.

What's the appeal of Langdon anyway? I assume a competent architect could have made that thing look a little better.

the fact that anything remotely similar in the city would be well over a million?

[killramos]

Langdon lol

Probably still very possible in the future.

I agree the doubledouble is kinda goofy looking, but i would love to have that with a single door out in to the back yard, could bring in the mower or take vehicles through for storage, or a shop out back for longer term projects.

Ah, so that's it. I'd rather spend $800k on a smaller house in the city to be honest, but I'm weird like that.

it basically is in the city, 11 minutes from langdon to stoney, takes more time to get out of some of these new poorly designed burbs communities

Why is there no house behind the left garages? Seems like a huge waste.

Heated driveway solves that.

Don't mind me, I don't consider places like Seaton or Walden to be "in the city" either.

Heated driveway solves that.

it's already 3 bedroom+bonus+den above grade... probably get 2-3 more in a developed basement, most people don't need to house a whole colony, i like the idea of it being open, that way you can put a single garage door on the back wall and have full access to the back yard... a lot of places around here have shops in the back yard.

Bu8t i do agree the top of the second garage could be better utilized, at least have a patio up there or something.

Actually I'd prefer to just have it taller to put hoists in.

Normally I'd be against overpaying for shit, but this is strikes me as a surprisingly reasonable cost.

Most people only shovel half their driveway around here, typically the far garage would be summer cars or a workshop anyway, so there's no need to shovel it every time.

Real life hack is to get south facing driveway, shit melts 95% of the time all by itself. Neighbour actually came over to ask how much my heated driveway cost me.

What are you, a realtor?

Langdon is ~41km from downtown, it is not "basically in the city" by a wide margin. It's also a windy, smelly shithole in the middle of the bald prairie.

[ExtraSlow]

I'm good at digital mapping software.

[Thaco]

lol, it's 27 minutes from skyview, 29 minutes from Legacy or silverado, or 34 minutes from langdon, on less shitty roads with less traffic.... so 5 minutes of driving is a "wide margin", lol

not sure where you're getting 41km, the difference between 32 and 41 is a "wide margin"

[killramos]

I love how the “it’s not that far” benchmark is fucking Silverado lol

Looks like it’s basically Vulcan to me

i never said it "wasnt that far" i said it wasn't out of the city by "a wide margin"

[vengie]

I love these discussions.

Proposed metric: Anything >15min drive is far

Face it, you live far away. But you chose your place of residence due to your life choices, and that's okay! but you are far.
