Could you provide a rough estimate on the total cost for this?

I toured a similar home located in Hyattsville and would consider adding a 2nd floor, but not the sunroom. The total square footage is around 760 for the first floor.

    In my experience in Montgomery County these second floor projects for bungalows start at $200,000 and go up from there. Required are new floor joists, continuous load path to footings, staircase, insulation, windows, all to current code standards, plus new heating /ac zone, new bathroom plumbing, often lead mitigation in the old house, it all adds up, square footage is not a good measure since these things are all required regardless of size. Prince Georges County may also require sprinklers.
