attached garage

Adjoining vehicle shelter

An attached garage is a garage that shares a wall with the house it serves, allowing direct interior access.

Most American homes built after World War II have attached garages, typically entered through the kitchen or a mudroom: We came in through the attached garage to avoid the rain.

Contrast with detached garage, which stands as a separate structure.
