We started by designing a one story addition and garage. While drafting plans with our architect we realized that we could put a second floor on the reverse gable if we added some dormers. We also realized that by adding a living room to the addition, the existing living room could become the first floor bedroom. And if we were to put a basement under the new addition we could add a TV room and bedroom. This would give them a 4 bedroom/2.5 bathroom house which appeals to a lot of buyers. At this point though, the Horsts were reconsidering whether they would ever want to sell this property at all.
