The front apartment has LR, EIK and room with closet which can be a bedroom or dining room as well as a half bath/laundry room on the first floor.

The after pics are stunning.  

What you need to ask your self is how much more rent am I going to get by doing this type of work For example if the apartment is a small two bedroom and its a galley kitchen and there is a dining room then is there really a need to open up the wall.

Single, no kids, I like hiking, fine dining and music. 

I'm not very active on the forums due to my schedule but when I do happen to check it out I'm just as stunned.

The current owner tried making the first floor into a 3BR duplex.The second floor is a kitchen dining, and living area, with the 3rd floor having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.I actually went to a REI group Tuesday night in my area.

It's a stunning city, but not near water and the locals try not to publicize it so it won't change.  

Stunning presentation, its no wonder you are so solidly booked.

I tend to stage the living room, kitchen, dining room, all bathrooms, and only the master bedroom.

That's a stunning multifamily you just posted.
