My wife and I went house hunting this weekend and found a pretty colonial that is is 10 years old but is lacking a first floor office/study. The house does have a 3 car garage which is nice but we would rather have the extra room IN the house and "suffer" with a 2 car garage.
My question is does anyone have an idea what it would cost to convert a single bay of the garage (the garage is split into two sections, a 2 bay section with its own door, and a single bay section with a smaller door) to a house-level room. {Probably in the 12x14 range). The floor would have to be built up as the garage is lower the the 1st level of the house. Windows, and ductwork too for heat/AC.
I am guessing that it would cost around 25K based on family members experience. I will get an architect if we proceed but just trying to get an idea now.
The house is in Massachusetts so I know it won't be cheap.
