Here is ours. It came with the house. Dh wants to replace the glass as it is not up to safety codes. It is small. Not heated. I mostly use it for storage and last spring, our first in this house, we started lots of seedlings in there as there is a nice heated mat thing to set the seed trays on.

There is some sort of exhaust thing that is supposed to turn on when it goes over a certain temp, but we have never been able to get that to work. Also elaborate misting and watering hoses that we have never really gotten to work correctly. It has not been a priority over other home repair/improvement projects we've had but we'd like to get to it someday. This is our first time owning acreage and owning a home that needed so much in the way of repair/improvement, so we have been overwhelmed. It's fun tho and we're slowing getting a house we really love and is perfect for us.

There is also a sunroom attached to the back of the house that we use as our tv/family room right now but someday when the kids are grown and moved out (we have teens), I'd love to set it up as a garden room and try growing tomatoes year round in there. And a very large potting bench near the greenhouse. Since we love to garden, we were thrilled with these 'bonus' areas.
