Late 50s ranch with addition: Keep current layout and footprint?
Comments (59)benjesbride - We did not. At the end of the day, there are aspects of that I like, but I'm not so in love with it that I'm willing to make all the changes necessary. Because it was an addition, that part of the house is not over the basement, which is the biggest obstacle. I will think about it some more. I really looked at the revision to your idea, not your original idea (at the back of the space, which is currently where our built-in bar is). It does merit some consideration, because our long-term plan would add plumbing to the other side of that wall for a new master BR. I think we would have to move the door to the deck, which is doable. A lot of my hesitation is that I spent years planning my last kitchen renovation and never did it. I really don't want to plan a big renovation in this house and just never do anything because it's too much....See More50’s Ranch Style Needs HELP!!!
Comments (6)Adding a porch, stoop or entry should help relieve the flatness of the front facade. The roof looks like it has some wear on it. So, would suggest you replace if in your budget. Painted brick is very popular these days but keep in mind, once painted, the brick can't be unpainted. Landscaping would certainly help also. Good luck!...See MorePlease Help!

Comments (13)Curious as to what you ended up doing if you happen to see this comment. I am in the same situation except my door is in front and I’m not on a lake. I also have 1/2 of my house front entrance to huge garage that wont be moved. Thanks for answering if you see this and have time....See MoreHelp with this kitchen window please! Modernizing a 50s ranch
Comments (4)i love the window WOULD NOT paint it at all. It is connection to light and outdoors even if i tis small. It is a feature..its nice how you have plants. leave the wood tone. If you bothered to do a backsplash, which would be great , you can do the area around the window as well and it will be a great looking spot. That mid tone birch or maple window frame is more 1950's ranch than anything else in this view....See MoreMike Kaiser
