The best remodeling projects happen when you start with an “unimproved” house; original construction, no interim updates.  This 23 year old golf course home cleaned up pretty well.   By raising a recessed living room floor and eliminating a half wall between it and the kitchen, the open floor plan is the epitome of what most buyers are looking for these days.  Engineered hardwood flooring flows from room to room, unifying even further.  New cabinets, countertops and appliances and a touch of fresh pear paint on the walls made for a quick sale – they even bought the furniture!
