re: adding on vs. buying a new house

Pretty awesome deal. I've been looking for a while and only run across a few homes for sale in OM for less than a half million & they aren't particularly attractive or any larger than yours. Those houses were also closer to $500k than $250k.

Is there no possibility of adding a second story? Is the roof pitch and design amenable to that? Adding a second story to a home is much cheaper than adding foundation. If the design of the home can stand up to the project it would be worth investigating.
That's what I was thinking. A competent architect specializing in renovations can tell you what's possible.

My home hasn't been appraised in 2.5 years so it could be more. Like I said we have the perfect plot of land just need more space.
Adding on a second story does sound cheaper but we would have to find a way to raise our 1950 style low ceiling downstairs.
I figured an architect should be my next call. Blueprints should run a couple grand?
