I'm a single father/homeowner. My two kids and I live in a 1200 sq ft 3 bedroom/2 bathroom house. I have a spacious two car garage about 24' x 24' that I don't even park one car in because I have a big driveway and extra parking space along the side of the house if needed. Half of the garage is basically my home gym (half rack, treadmill, stationary bike) and the other half I use for storage, bikes, tools, sports equipment, etc. It's insulated and clean but it's still a garage. My kids are getting older and want to have friends/cousins over more often.
So for any other homeowners or people who know about resale value, would it be a good investment to take my two car garage, split it down the middle, make it a one car garage, and turn the other half into a fully finished bonus room/extra living space? I'd move my gym into that room, add a small couch and hang a tv on the wall. Nothing crazy.
I have no intent to sell at this time and just want to make the best use of the space.
