Why Buyers in Brighton Want the Garage Out Back

• A shop, not a mudroom. A detached garage is where the noise, the sawdust and the project car go. Brighton buyers who work with their hands search for it.
• ADU potential. Zoning in much of Brighton allows a unit above or beside a detached garage. The garage is the cheapest path to rental income on the lot.
• Alley access. Older neighborhoods put the garage on the alley and keep the street front clean. Two curb cuts mean two driveways.
• Weather and the walk. A detached garage means a walk to the house in January. Many owners add a covered walkway or a second attached carport.
• Condition. Alley garages built in the 1920s have foundations and roofs that need a look. We inspect the outbuilding like the house.
