A good GC will make it blend in as though the addition was always part of the initial build. The GC I secured put on an addition to my primary home. I wanted a first floor office with entrances from the formal dining room and the morning/sun room. But doing this would also require the poured concrete foundation walls to be extended which provided another room off the existing basement. My contractor was able to match the siding, roof shingles, and paint exactly along with the brick pattern my original builder had for the poured concrete walls. People are surprised when I tell them that part of the house is an addition.
