MERCER ISLAND, WA

Better known as the Garaj Mahal, Bruce Leven's creation of this custom car space is unique and special, with room for a few dozen cars as well as office/living area above. A creative owner might choose to build out the upper area more fully and make a functional living space that could be used full- or part-time.

WOODWAY, WA

A highly polished product, this gorgeous car home is set on nearly 3 acres and is ready for the seasoned collector who knows what he/she wants, both in terms of a special car space and a home and property to match. It features floor space for 14 vehicles, but offers adequate ceiling height for stacking and thereby potentially doubling that number.

SEATTLE, WA

Car homes within Seattle's city limits are a challenge, especially within a reasonable budget. This affordable mid-century home features a rare 5-car garage in the city, along with a home that's well-maintained but which offers substantial upside via remodeling. Raising the roof of the garage a few feet, given there is no living space above it, would also allow for a potential doubling of the car storage count with lifts.

REDMOND, WA

This property was designed for equestrian use, but presents an enticing opportunity for the auto enthusiast: the massive 80' x 120' riding arena is ideal for a conversion to a shop or museum space for your cars. Simply enclose the walls, pave the floor, and finish to your desired spec!

KIRKLAND, WA

A unique car home located adjacent to downtown Kirkland, this waterfront property features a heated and ventilated 3,300+ sq ft garage under the 6,000+ sq ft 2-story living quarters. 9-car parking is claimed, but proper organization would easily yield space for additional vehicles.

MAPLE VALLEY, WA

Set on 8 private acres bordering forest land, this car home is turn-key ready with a 3-car main garage, accompanied by a 40' x 60' insulated shop with tall ceilings and plenty of space for 10 or more vehicles.

RAVENSDALE, WA

Marketed as having just 3-car covered parking (attached garage), this property offers an abundant car home opportunity with its 40' x 60' shop, already finished and move-in-ready.

AUBURN, WA

For the enthusiast seeking space and privacy in the South Sound, this recent new build in Auburn offers contemporary sensibility and features, combined with space for a robust car collection between the spacious attached garage and 3,000 sq ft shop with extra-tall ceilings.

CLINTON, WA

A lovely property at the south end of Whidbey Island, this home was advertised as having 2-car covered parking (attached garage); however, the keen enthusiast sees the opportunity present in the 40' x 60' pole barn that has been used by the current owner as a horse stable and storage area. Clear out the three temporary stalls, and finish to your desired spec for a fantastic car home just minutes from the Clinton ferry terminal.

ISSAQUAH, WA

A nearly 8-acre forested estate featuring parking for up to 20 vehicles (with storage lifts), this car home located just south of downtown Issaquah offers space, privacy, and capacity.

CLE ELUM, WA

Just over an hour from Seattle and the Eastside, Cle Elum has always been a close-in getaway spot for the metro area. This spectacular car home sits on 20 acres and features two finished shops (100' x 60' and 40' x 30') for the serious collector or tinkerer (or both), along with a beautiful newer house and level grounds with private pond.

GIG HARBOR, WA

Advertised as 10-car covered parking, this car home can offer much more to the sharp enthusiast. The 3-car attached garage has tall ceilings, allowing easy use of lifts for a total of 6. The detached 4,300 sq ft shop functions as a business and storage area, but could comfortably accommodate a dozen or more cars in the storage space...and the office space could either be converted to more car storage or remodeled into a very nice guest apartment.

MERCER ISLAND, WA

With an extra-deep 4-car detached garage, this close-in car home on a private wooded lot on Mercer Island can actually accommodate 6 cars in the garage. Plus, the original garage on the left was enclosed and converted to living space; convert back to a garage for 8-car capacity.

BELLEVUE, WA

A rare close-in, high-capacity car home in Bellevue, this property features a main house with 2-car garage, guest house with 1-car garage, and a detached 2,500+ sq ft shop with tall ceilings and office/storage space above. Very well-conceived, and ideally located for the enthusiast who wants the kind of car storage capacity you normally have to move outside of the core metro area to find.

WOODINVILLE, WA

A lovely estate property on 8 acres located between Redmond and Woodinville, this car home offers multiple auto storage options in a refined traditional package. The combination of attached garage, 2400 sq ft detached shop, and 600 sq ft gym offer claimed parking for 12, but easily more with proper use of space and storage lifts.

RENTON, WA

An interesting car home opportunity, this property features a unique L-shaped garage that surrounds its central motor court. Capable of storing 10+ vehicles in its main area, plus a hidden gem out back with a semi-finished covered shop that could be easily enclosed and finished as additional car storage or work space.

CARNATION, WA

A very specifically purpose-built car home, this house over garage design is ideal for the enthusiast who would like a garage with a home attached, for either full- or part-time use.

BELLEVUE, WA

To the average eye, this is a typical suburban home with a 3-car garage; however, the discerning enthusiast would make note of the garage with its 12-foot ceilings and know that a few simple storage lifts and garage door modification will double its capacity to a 6-car garage.
