We have a cape but the upstairs is completely unfinished stand-up attic. Due to code I think think the inspector said we would have to raise the roof another 6 inches to make it legally bedrooms but we were thinking of just making it into a small Loft/Office area for our computer and a desk with some storage and closets. (maybe a play area down the road when we have children) How much do you think it would cost to finish it off (adding sheetrock/flooring, a few outlets and possibly a staircase - no dormers or alterations to the existing roof)

Has anyone else done soemthing like this and were you happy with it??
