renovating cape cod

21 days ago

Looking for ways to maximize the space of our cape cod, ideally within the same footprint but also open to more than that (would have to be backwards as we are close to neighbors on both sides).

Kitchen needs updating regardless, so will minimally update current footprint or knock down the wall between kitchen and dining room. Wish there was a way we could open this up even more but I think we’re limited by the stairs and chimney.

The front of the house is ground level and the back is one story above ground. We have a great backyard but I hate that, from this main level, I can’t see my kids when they are playing out there. Probably no easy fix for this, but perhaps make a door out of the window in the living room and add a deck off that?

Thanks!
