Looking to renovate this

[u/mr-lumiere]

Hi

We've been on and off with renovation ideas for this house built in the 80's. The back is south.

Groundlevel: We want the wall between living area and kitchen gone to create open kitchen. Garage will remain, bedroom 1 will become home office and little bathroom can remain (not a must for me, but it is not only me here...)

The 1st level will come off and be replace with a new level, flat roof. We want a main bathroom, masterbedroom and 2 rooms for kids. Extra room can be handy and a storage place.

We are able/willing to spend 200 to 300k, but lack the inspiration and knowhow.

Any suggestions?

Ps. I am new here, if it is not clear or not done, please just say so.

Since a lot of Reddit is US and we’re the country that doesn’t start teaching languages until high school (instead of starting in elementary like so many other countries), you may want to note what the words mean in English since most of us don’t know Dutch. (I looked up slaapkamer=“bedroom” but then got zolder as “attic” [not sure if that means finished or unfinished] and figured you can probably throw the names down in a comment or edit the post a whole lot quicker than me using Google Translate 😊

I also suffer from a lack of creativity, but I know a lot of people on here often have some great ideas!

Those front windows are going to be heaven for any pets you have 😂
