Our homes today are being more and more geared towards open spaces. I have found that most home owners want and open layout that incorporates the space the family uses most, like the family room or living room, with the dining room and the kitchen. This question should specify by whom the value is going to be assessed. The housing market or the home owner? Personal needs and taste will raise the value to the home owner but might reflect the same value to a buyers market. Family unity is important and adding or expanding a family room will raise the value. Most people will remodel the kitchen in addition to any other renovations. An updated open kitchen and bath rooms almost always raises the value of a home. Also the addition of a bathroom for example, if the home only has a 2nd floor bath and you add a first bath or powder room. One other area is the basement. This is usually easier and the least costly addition to living space. A good basement remodel can add value while keeping cost down. If the home already has a good layout and flow you could look at the windows and doors and roofing and siding to see they need updating to conserve energy.
