In Bay Village, a young family faced the common challenge of needing more space as their family grew. To solve this issue, they began with a converted garage turned playroom. This gave them some time, but they couldn't accommodate the imminent expansion of their family. They needed a more permanent solution; a two-story addition was the perfect answer.

Their first step was to identify their needs. This included an extra bedroom, bathrooms, guest accommodations, ample storage, and breathing room for a growing family. With their priorities mapped out, they collaborated with their design team to create a vision that would reimagine their living experience entirely.

The result was a five-bedroom home that seamlessly creates functionality, with designated spaces for adults and kids alike. But why did they choose design-build over traditional methods? For this family, the answer is efficiency. With time being a precious commodity, the streamlined design-build approach offered savings in energy and time—a crucial factor for a family juggling multiple responsibilities.

The journey from conception to completion was a significant undertaking. Odell spent over a year designing and collaborating with the family, making each decision carefully and thoughtfully, and nearly ten months in construction. The expertise and project management provided by Odell Construction made the burden lighter, and choosing to opt for design-build was well worth the investment.

How Much Does a Home Addition Cost?

Investing in a project like this typically costs between $400,000 and $700,000 with similar amenities in the Cleveland area. For those considering a basic single story addition, costs can start around $125,000.

Why Invest in a Home Addition?

But why would someone want to invest this into their home when they can purchase a new build for a similar price or less? This family chose to invest in their current home for many reasons. The main reason is that their siblings live on the same street. It is highly convenient to get help and maintain the sense of having a village to raise their family. The second reason is their love for Bay Village, improving their town, and staying in the school district.

Their home is also in an area where the home values are appreciating, and they will eventually see a return on their investment. Money aside, they also found that their options with fully custom design allowed them to complete their forever home specific to their individual needs. Their home will grow with them, evolve as their needs change, and allow them to live their lives to the fullest potential.

Ultimately, the result is a transformed living space that meets today's needs and anticipates tomorrow's joys and challenges. To take a closer look at this remarkable home addition, and the evolution of family living at its finest below.
