Best way to add on to ranch?

We are in a ranch style house that is basically 50 ft long by 28 ft deep. To the left (as looking at house) is also an approx. 28x28 sunroom with a garage below. The right side of the house has three bedrooms (two across front, starting to the right of the front door and the master in the right, rear of house), two bathrooms (running parallel to master, going towards center of house). We need to add additional space and originally were thinking of going up, but now I'm wondering if bumping out would be a better solution. I'm considering a one story "L," coming out towards the front from where the two bedrooms currently are. We need to add at least one bedroom, but two or even three would be better. I have been searching floor plans available online but haven't come up with anything close to what I am thinking. It seems all bump outs are the garage part. I am hoping for ideas of how to set this up. Thanks!

1. pour a slab where you want to to venture out and have a contractor build what you want, i would attach the two with say a glassed (see thru) in walkway or something to that sort. just a thought. good luck
