New door configuration on ground floor of brownstone

I want to have two french doors in the center of the wall off my kitchen leading to the garden. Currently I have only one door to the far right with two windows in the kitchen area with a radiator between them. I want to have access to the garden from the kitchen. I know this involves engineering and careful construction. Has anyone done this? I am looking for information about cost and permits, etc.
Thank you for any input you can offer.

Yes, it’s definitely possible and many homeowners do it to https://dumpsterentalasheville.com“>improve garden access and natural light. The main factors are whether the wall is load-bearing, local permit requirements, and structural support like a header beam. Costs vary widely but are usually a few thousand dollars depending on structural work and door type. A contractor or structural engineer can assess it and guide permits.
