      Admittedly, it’s a very nice garage. Insulated, heated, separate breaker box… the previous owners even ran coax to it underground from the house and were using it as a man-cave with a TV, surround sound, and an old couch. Depending on the audience, I describe it more as a workshop than a garage. The perfect place to start a small business. :)
