How to Choose the Right Spot for a Home Addition
Planning a home addition is an exciting opportunity to create more space, improve flow, and boost your home’s value—but where should you build it? Whether you’re thinking about expanding your kitchen, adding a new bedroom, or creating a home office, location is everything.
Key Considerations When Choosing a Location for your New Home Addition:
-
Lot size and setback requirements – Make sure local zoning rules allow for the expansion.
-
Access to plumbing and HVAC – Building off existing systems can reduce cost.
-
Sunlight and natural views – Consider how the new space will affect lighting in your home.
-
Traffic flow and layout – Choose a location that improves how you move through your home.

0904: Easton Farmers Porch & Bump Out
The second floor bump out added character to the exterior facade while providing the additional space needed to convert an existing office into a more comfortable bedroom. The James Hardie board and batten contrasts nicely with the existing clapboard, providing a modern touch to the front facade. The new paint scheme, windows, and blinds added the finishing touches to this transformation.
