Places that seem to be fully remodeled with hard wood floors, etc. 

Kept carpet in LR and hardwood in bedrooms.

Remodeled the property: New windows, refinished hardwood, new kitchen, new doors, vinyl plank flooring, stainless steel appliances, washer/dryer, quartz countertops.

Once hardwoods have been sanded down so far, they have to be replaced.

The hardwood is just old and doesn't need to be pulled up.

For example, $4-5/sqft hardwood floors rather than laminate; Quartz countertops rather than formica; Nice looking in trend fixtures from wayfair rather than homedepot builder grade; etc.

solid wood doors, granite tops, plywood cabinets, hardwood flooring, along with most of what you mentioned

Ft. with beautiful hardwood floors.

I know a lot of these older homes have hardwood and that hardwood will typically bring higher returns.

You could ask your consultant to negotiate specific finished hardwood to "finish out" the "family lodge" you intend to build with your "net proceeds check"... but most folks ask the consultant to replant your next 15-20 year timber investment...
