Trying to choose between granite counters or stainless steel appl
I'm debating whether to go stainless steel appliances with laminate counters, or get the granite counters and do white appliances (white would go better with color scheme of paint job than black)
The property is a two story, 2/1.5 condo 980 sq ft. about 42 sq ft of counter top space. 4pc appliances. I put nicer tile floor throughout (except bedrooms and stairs)
I want to do better than white appliances with laminate counters to stand out among neighboring properties
I haven't deemed it sensible to spend the budget on this property to do both granite and SS.
The zip code of this property is about a square mile and the properties vary widely. Condo prices range from 60k to 400k, and rents for comparable sizes from 800 to 1100/mo. Some properties have laminate with basic appliances, some have both granite and SS, some have one or the other. This neighborhood is interesting because on one side of the street you can have what people here call a "C" or "D" block directly across the street from an "A" block. Which would you choose and why? Thanks for your input
