This is what we were quoted … in 2017.

A guess is $350/sf.

Probably $6-700k for the 3 levels. They have to dig out part of the foundation so adding a basement digout isn’t a lot more. But you also need to finish the basement which adds cost.

This. Imo not worth it. Move or knock the whole thing down and rebuild.

Cheaper to move.

Quotes I got last year for a modest bump out 200 sq ft on two floors including a new kitchen was $350-400k. No basement dig out.

How much square feet are you adding? Will this include gutting and redoing the kitchen? At least 400+ per square feet. Digging out your basement is going to be expensive.

Anyone with recent experience with a 2 story bump out (kitchen/family room first floor, master suite second) care to share how much it cost, and if we also want to expand the basement (dig out) essentially making it a 3 story bump out, how much that would add to the cost?
