[quote=Anonymous]We live in a 1950s split level, which is too small for our current family.  
We love our neighborhood, school district, and lot, and haven't been able to find anything to buy.
So -- we're thinking of renovating what we currently have instead of moving.

Our biggest priority is to enlarge the kitchen (currently a tight 1-person kitchen), but we'd also 
like to knock down our playroom/family room and enlarge it slightly.  
Next, we'd like to push out a small back bedroom and turn into a master bedroom suite.
Since this is on the second floor, I'm thinking maybe we could have a screened-in porch beneath it.
If possible, also thought maybe we could convert our attic into a useable room -- either 
another bedroom or office space, which would mean raising the roof, at least in the back, and expanding it out.
Also would like to add a front porch or at least a portico (mail and packages get wet currently in the rain.)

How much can we realistically do for 300K?  Someone down our street who had a 
complete remodel paid 550K, and we definitely can not do that.

We live in Bethesda, if that matters (charged higher for location?)
