We purchased this split entry raised ranch a couple of years ago as a remodel project. We are wanting to add on to the right side a master bed/bath, remove the large eave in front, add a front porch and dormer windows at top. Anyone good with draw up or photoshop to give me some exterior ideas?! Help!!

Your house is well proportioned with clean simple lines.

Suggest you embrace the style instead of attempting a remuddle.

Look for a local Architect to help.

You need an architect for the plans, and for the 3D visualizations. And a really big budget. https://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/2019/

I'm with PPF on this one. The good proportions & clean lines make your home rather contemporary with current design trends, strange as that may seem to the original poster. Better off with a refresh of color & materials than to monkey with additions, embellishments, & design changes that destroy the integrity of the original.

I confess to preferring celerygirl's Before picture to the "Inspiration" picture.
