If you can get a few inches even, then you could stand there and actually utilize the corner and that would be your best and most aesthetically pleasing option.

From an aesthetic point of view, I'm a fan of combining historic and modern features - too much 'antiqueyness' in a place doesn't grab me, but I also hate to see great architectural features and workmanship discarded.

and these little punks.. make 6 times as much as I do out of highschool investing.. 

And good for her if that is the case).If you're going to be in that top 1%, and have the personality disposition to do either (I do not, hate driving, weak sense of aesthetic, tell me the kitchen "feels too cold" and my response would be to turn up the thermostat), Realtors at that level out-earn loan originators. 

Of course, before you decide on a roof tear out, you should have the entire exterior and new roof blend in nicely for good aesthetics.

Personally, we did the flooring, painting, some demo, landscaping, a lot of trim work, and many of the smaller aesthetic projects (floating shelves in the guest bath and laundry room, sliding barn door, etc.) on our own which cut costs a good bit. 

I hate to see a nice counter top on some terrible looking cabinets LOL I'm a kitchen and bath designer and look at the overall aesthetic and function. 

Well, do ya punk? 

Pairing them with good pulls is critical, a 4" wire pull doesn't cut it anymore as far as aesthetics go.

The funny part is he said all this to my realtor thinking he was the investor and I was just some "punk sidekick".It was an odd situation all around... the house next door had "heavy" security and a ton of cameras all along the perimeter, but they were the nicest people and apologized for the inconvenience.
