Title: Plans for the "Cottage"
Post by: Windpower on July 22, 2010, 06:23:11 PM
Here are the remodel plans for the 34 X 34 foot farm house

Sorry the pics aren't better

Basically adding a 3 car garage and a second floor --- I think this is about 95% perfect for us -- what did I forget (BTW a real architect drew these not me :)

Thank you, Sassy

We are excited

a loose paraphrase from

http://urbansurvival.com/week.htm

'you can't overbuild properties with great 'ocean/river/lakefront/hilltop views' --for long term investment'

The views from this hill top are very beautiful

we are going for it,  with a two story and windows to take advantage of the 20 mile views

Front elevation

Garage side

South side

This will be facing the south view of the hills and woods

We plan a patio with garden areas

view from south side at ground level -- from the second floor (master bedroom deck) the view goes for 20 miles

My wife wanted the widow's walk at the top -- a 12 X 12 room (that will be a fun place for the grand kids) that has 360 degree views

will be a great place for a sundowner -- he wrapped the stair case around from the over-the-garage bonus room --it is visible 'ghosted in' from the garage side and south side
