Doors and Trim--Update or Not?
We are under contract on a house that has not been updated since it was built in the 1950's. The doors are, of course, flat panel but fit, open, and close perfectly; the door and baseboard trim is original but painted.
I've always replaced flat panel doors, even if they are in good condition, with 6-panel doors, and have always replaced door and baseboard trim with more contemporary styles of trim. However, both the doors and the trim in this house are immaculate.
I am looking for opinions, please, on whether a buyer would look for the more modern styles of doors/trim, or whether, because these are in great condition, painting them would be an acceptable option.
