Lets talk remodeling costs

In my daily browse of real estate sites I noticed this. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/...

It appears to be a converted barn or a house that looks like a barn for $80k on 3/4 acre. Supposedly built in 1995 but it looks older than that. I dont have anywhere near enough time or money to take on this kind of project but a house this size and age in this area could easily go for $175k.

Its going to need all new flooring, appliances and at least some dry wall work. Reading the description it looks like it doesn't have any traditional bedrooms. The upstairs bedroom appears to be more of a loft and a large downstairs room which could be a family room, large bedroom or workshop.

What I would like to do is convert the bedroom to a more traditional bedrooms with doors and closets, possibly turning the the large downstairs bedroom into 2 bedrooms and adding a bathroom maybe in the loft bedroom area.

What would these improvements cost?

Flooring

Bedroom addition

Bathroom addition

Also there is no paved driveway. What would an asphalt driveway cost?
