Talk to us about that sunspace to the right....

Yeah, that will have to come down. :) It's listed as a greenhouse. Just attached to the house. The area to which it is attached is the garage. The small window is in the kitchen above the sink.

There's room for a standard 3-0/6-8 door useing part of dining window plus one side light. Back yard entrance doesn't always have to be a big honking double door.

Could you add stairs leading up to the deck from the basement? If you go with the patio doors and deck route, that is.

So you're both thinking it wouldn't be weird to put a deck over the patio area and cover the basement entrance? Thanks for the thoughts.

The only possible conflit that come's to mind is covering light source window in basement but you didn't menton basement windows.

You are correct. Those are windows in the basement. LARGE wall of windows. So, that would be a no-no?

Can you post a floor plan of the interior? There might be other options for exit to the backyard besides the dining room window.

The first thing you need to do is put a fence around that well before someone fall's in it. Is there room to put a door on side nearest chimney and a walk along edge of basement well to access a patio fartur out in yard? Or maybe just put a catwalk from house to yard instead of covering intire basement well.

Sorry, I can't post a floor plan. I know that would be helpful. But I do think the idea of a catwalk might work. Or at the least, maybe a door from the garage if the greenhouse is removed. And, yeah, it does seem like a hazard without a fence. Thanks all, for your input!

Yes, the big well is frightening. I think I remember a drain, but the same thought occurred to us about the heavy rains. There is not a door into the greenhouse, only from the outside. But, yes, one could be put there in its place.

A patio cover or a deck would definitely help to transform your outdoor living space into something truly exceptional. Here are some articles on outdoor ideas:

As part of the inspection you're making sure that the basement doesn't flood with the rains?

She has decided to move on and not offer on this house. Too many issues, some of which were raised by you good folks. Thanks!

Glad to help but I bet there's a real estate agent out there that would like to wring our necks.
