How modern is the electrical?

congratulation. the staging is nice and modern did you do it yourself?

I will keep you posted regarding the progress of my project. yes my job will be a full rehab ..I can imagine knocking down some walls to open up space looking for a more modern layout ..moving electricity, refinishing/putting new flooring, gutting kitchen, new cabinets, counter tops, full paint outside/inside ..possible new deck, yard, possible cosmetics in the basement (new carpet, finish walls etc) ...properties selling for under 50K in my area are needing all that ..I hope I will not discover too much while opening walls. most of those houses are winterized with no utilities running ..so once I switch electricity/gas/water on ..lets see if the thing will not fall apart ;-)

This gives the first floor comfortable modern spaces, not the small older living rooms all ranches had, open kitchens with custom cabinets and high end appliance packages, and master suites with marble baths.
