You should ask a local real estate agent before doing this but my sense is
that you will likely reduce the value. Just adding partitions to make large
rooms into small ones doesn't seem to add any real value. A 6.5x17" L shaped
bedroom seems less than desirable. Some prospective owners would prefer the
large TV room.

Hello,

Looking for some good advice on the following please.

I'm considering remodeling my TV room, which is approx. 12.5 x 17, into
an L shaped bedroom 6.5x17 with the lower part of the L being the 12.5.
The remaining space is approx 9x5.5 and it faces into the kitchen,
which currently has no eating area. So this will become the dining
'nook' if you will.

I will be doing the work myself.

The question is, all things being equal, how much value can this
potentially add to my home?

I've tried to find information but everything is given in recoup
percentages. I don't want that because I'll be here for a long while.

In my mind I think that making a 1br into a 2 br with a dining area
should count for at least 20k, but I may be delusional.

By the way, it's a condo in renovated victorian (not cookie cutter) in
a nice area.

Any thoughts, comments, advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
