I plan to do some remodeling to both my kitchen and my master bath at some point. Why didn't I buy a house that didn't need remodeling? Because this one had so many things going for it.

To OP: There could be structural issues. (ie The wall you want to remove could be load bearing.) If so, it could be very expensive to do what you want. But it might not be load bearing. Good luck. If you do take down walls please take before and after pics and share with us!

Good luck!

Well said. Being in the market for a used home, due to preferred locations, we have already accepted the idea that we won't get everything we want in our choice. Knowing that, with proper approval, we have the potential of changing some of those items we may not be in love with, is what makes potential tradeoffs more palatable.
