Question Is it possible to expand exterior wall?

We have 2 french doors in the back of the house and I want to move the kitchen to where the north side french door is but there is a corner that sticks in and also an area between the french doors that is in. (So the 2 french doors are sticking outside but I want the space between it I want the same depth. See image below)

Is it possible? If so, is this going to be an expensive (over $10K) job or a decent (couple thousand $) job?

It should be doable although if the wall is load bearing - that would need to be addressed. A look see in the attic might help. The best way to figure the price would be to get 3 or more estimates, labor prices can vary greatly in different regions.

Definitely possible, and definitely quite a bit more than $2000.
