Help with curb appeal
Previous owners turned garage into great room but this was done wrong and mold destroyed the room so badly it must be torn down and rebuilt. Due to house style (salt box) we are limited but looking for any suggestions on how to add curb appeal. Sketches are front and side views of main 2-story house and the planned 1-story addition. Planned addition footprint is larger than original. Thinking of adding a cupola to addition to give some height /interest. Also considering moving addition entry to front with porch on the addition (we don’t really use front door as main entry as side is much closer in proximity to driveway where everyone parks). I think I’m struggling mostly with the overall look and curb appeal and would appreciate constructive feedback. Thanks!
Photos of the main house as well as a floor plan would help. There are a million ways to detail this based on the architecture of the main house which is to vague in the elevation
If you google New England farm houses, you will see that many had one story extensions, often with full length porches and family entry doors. I would look to their historical example for inspiration. Are you adding a garage? Will this connect with the garage? Consider something like this…
thank you for the advice. we have a detached two car garage. It’s a little far from the house to connect.
