Simple question.3 options.

2.Renovate garage into a small "man cave"
3.Take garage down and lay fresh grass for backyard.

Hi Matthew!
Just a few thoughts...
If the house is spacious enough where there is no need for extra private space, I'd say keep the garage.
If your market is predominately male buyers, I'd consider the man cave, but my market is predominately female so I wouldn't consider it.
If the garage is unsightly, maybe take it down, it could boost curb appeal. More grass is more maintenance, so imagine if you or your future buyer is looking for higher or lower maintenance.
Hope this helps and good luck!
