[quote=Anonymous]We had the same choice and did the renovation. Great location/neighbors is priceless. Yes, it was a hassle to use the living room as a kitchen (we lived in the house through the reno) but cleaning out a house we'd lived in for 15 years to move would also have been a hassle. One thing that helped was we did the reno in stages. Combined/pushed out the kitchen/dining and added screened porch (in retrospect should have made it a more finished sunroom). Then did the basement rec room and bathroom. A few years later redo of our 1st floor guest/kids bathroom. One consideration was that these changes made the house much more livable for life with teens but did not so overbuild the house that it would feel too big when we are empty nesters.[/quote]
