How do I get rid of the steps (2) into the main house

May 21, 2014 1 Replies

Looking at a house that has stairs up to main level, then 2 steps down in the foyer to the living room. Is it feasible to get rid of those 2 steps?



Anything's possible, if you have enough money:

-

- The foyer and entry door could be dropped to the outside grade elevation.

- If the ceiling height allows, the living-room could have a false floor put on the existing floor.

- The entire ground level could be re-framed to whatever elevation you want.

- You could walk away from this house and buy a more favorable house.
