Adding Up and Out home addition, Lancaster County

Sometimes an “addition” consists of taking what is there already and bumping out or even going up. In this case, we did some of each. In order to add bedroom space to the second floor, we went up, adding a full second floor above a former garage. And, in order to enlarge a cramped older kitchen, we bumped out the first-floor rear. To regain the lost garage space, a true “addition” was built – a spacious garage with guest quarters on the upper level – cleverly disguised as a Lancaster County-red barn.
