We planned on getting in and making significant interior and exterior improvements.

Getting quotes from GCs to complete interior renovations - mostly paint/carpet/minor kitchen and bathroom stuff.

The wife is an interior designer and is open to a house not finished if it means she can pick out finishes to her taste.

But interior stairs that require trim work and a combination of oak and pine we outsource.

I have yet to get inside the house, so I can't be 100% sure of the layout, but from the interior photos it looks as though the garage entrance is currently in the kitchen.

 * New ceramic tile throughout downstairs, front and back landscaping, interior paint, granite countertops, new HVAC, new blinds, built in entertainment center.

Take no consideration for location, scenic views, or being next to a toxic dump.They have no way of knowing the interior or exterior condition of a house.If you want to understand comps, there are a zillion videos on YouTube showing how to do a CMA.

Most of the work will be interior paint, installing flooring, trim, cabinets, toilets, and fixtures.  

Also, I had asked my agent to take additional photos while I still had a chance to back out; she only sent me photos of the outside - I figured there was nothing 'undisclosed' in the interior.  

This type of window requires little or no alteration to the exterior and interior components, providing it is sized correctly.
