We leveled the floor on the first level (both sides) by removing damaged floors in both kitchens and building a new, level floor that met the same height of a new, level floor we built on top of the remaining floor in the dining and living rooms.

The wood will butt up to existing tile that is in kitchen / dining area.   

Took out approximately 6 ft. of walls between the dining and living room.All popcorn ceiling texture and did hand texture throughout .Changed out both the front and back doors and replaced them with leaded glass and internal blind doors.

There is carpet in the living, dining, and a hallway but not in the 2 bedrooms where there are hardwood floors.  

Hello windward Natalie, Kaaawa is still stunning.

Each side of the duplex has a living room, dining room, kitchen, sunroom, and a covered front porch on the first floor; 3 bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor and separate basements with spaces for storage and washer and dryer hookups for all of your laundry needs.

A nice granite can be really stunning, but you will pay.

IMHO, it was stunningly beautiful (if you like the rustic look).

Definitely tile for the floor in the kitchen and dining area.

$20K for rehab sounds like a couple of bathrooms and a dining room.
