Holding on to it with painting of the interior and upgrades to countertops to be granite.

Is your wife prepared to come home to "her" granite countertops, the ones she pleaded with you for year after year before she finally got them, and find multiple chips in them?

I think it was @Mike H. who said that you'll get more interest if you pick one or two things in the house and over improve them (aka granite counter top in one of the bathrooms, etc...) so that it makes the property stand out from just all of the other plain properties.Also, being in the Baltimore area really is a challenge.

Look how this beautiful range hood instantly elevates the look of this kitchen.Consider butcher block counter topsIf a little paint can’t solve your kitchen problems, but it’s not in the budget to upgrade to quartz or granite, consider butcher block countertops.

I could have granite, SS appliances, tile baths and floors, etc, you are not getting more with cash.  

Granite countertops before they were standard.

I would suggest a darker shade of granite to prevent any stains.

I.e. is granite acceptable, or does it need to be quartz?  

I fell in love with the large, beautiful lot and the granite exterior.  

Countertops: I see a lot of people going back and forth between granite and quartz.
