[quote=Anonymous]Home remodel choices hinge on expanding the entertaining space of the house vs. expanding bedrooms and settling for smaller outdoor extensions. I'm leaning toward the deck and pergola because we love entertaining and this lot is stunning--a mix of sunny open areas and woods with lots of gorgeous landscape and wildlife on a full acre inside the beltway, but I think we'll only be there for another 6-10 years before retiring overseas, so I'm mindful of the need to think about resale.

These outdoor "additions" would take advantage of the amazing view and enormous back yard and vastly expand entertaining and lounging options year round.

Screened porch would have the same view as the pergola, but would sacrifice a lot of natural light because of the floor above. [/quote]
