Keep the location. Rebuild what it needs.
Levittown Two-Story Addition is a Levittown lot with a one-and-a-half-story rancher, sage-green siding and a carport. The location stays. The house gets bigger.
Not every location-first project is a full teardown. Here the plot plan calls for demolishing the existing carport, shed and gazebo and constructing a two-story addition, with a new front porch and a new rear porch.
What’s happening on site
- Plans drawn: plot plan, front rendering, front, rear and side elevations and construction sheets
- Site prepared for the addition
- Slab forms and vapor barrier set beside the existing house, then concrete delivered
- Framing lumber delivered and staged on the driveway
- Two stories framed with 10-foot ceilings, roof framed and sheathed, house wrap on and windows going in
Where it’s headed
The front rendering shows the finished design: a two-story home with blue siding and a gabled front porch. We’ll add photos here as the build progresses.
