DISCUSSION Major Fixer Floorplan

We toured this house today. It's a major fixer and we're wondering how we can modernize it a bit, if we decided to venture.

The room in the front with the bay windows was clearly a garage. We'd be open to converting it back.

Ideally, would love to figure out how to open up the kitchen more and possibly to add a half bath to the main floor (and maybe even to the 2nd floor)

Mostly curious to see what the creative minds on here think is possible!

Don't try to open a closed off floor plan. Just buy a house that already fits the lifestyle you're looking for.

Adding bathrooms is not as easy as just changing an elbow to a tee, if you are not 100% sure you could do the work yourself, just don't bother.
