The large 36 x 60 garage has one 10-foot and one 8-foot door, providing plenty of space for washing or repairing vehicles and recreational vehicles. The garage is insulated and heated with in-floor heat and has a year-round insulated underground waterline service to the garage, complete with a water heater.
