[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we want to add on to our house because we love the neighborhood and the commute, but we really want a master bathroom. I think if we're adding that, then we might as well turn our walled-in sun room into a bigger family room at the same time. The difference in just adding a dormer and making another bathroom upstairs, and adding a bigger family and by extension, a master suite is about $100K. I'm trying to think long term, past just having a master bath so we don't share with the kids, but this is a lot to swallow.

Just the dormer is $60K, a master suite and bigger family room is $150K. Anyone out there do just a dormer bathroom in their crap shack?[/quote]

We were in a similar situation -- except that our smaller reno to add a bedroom and bathroom and dormer plus fix some other issues would have cost about 130k and the larger reno (2-story addition including new master suite and family room) bedrooms was 220k. We are SO happy that we chose the larger project. It has transformed our house and it was cheaper to do that all at once than to do the smaller project now and then later do a 2nd addition. [/quote]
