This question basically is can you (affordably) change a split-foyer style home into a colonial looking ??
We live in the Northern Va area (close to DC) and plan to stay and are looking to buy within the next 6 months. Property here is WAY overheated but good price adjustments are now coming to the table.
There is an over-abundance of split-foyer homes here, But no one wants them. Even a realtor said that her potential clients would not even consider looking at one, much less go to an open house for one.
There are several properties where the location is ideal, much more land than other, and priced to sell. All the positives. Problem is the style of the house.
One particular property I've seen, if you could change the front of the house to at least look like a colonial which is the most sought after here the selling price would be at least $100K higher. IE $380K to $480K +
Any Architects or construction guys here to advise?
