New cabinets, new carpet, granite throughout the house, new doors (not all), paint the interior, touch up trim, paint deck, pro cleaning, touch up landscaping.... they purchased it all cash half a year ago... ;)

We just painted a another house a medium gray with white trim and I loved it.

I replaced all the floors, new kitchen, baths, paint interior and exterior, new doors and trim. 

mine was a silver maple and to make it even better..... had been hit by lightning and no one would trim it so I ended up getting it removed... 

But in most cases its up to you to trim branches away from your lines. 

I also painted every interior door, wall, ceiling, and piece of trim in the house.

We would do the painting, tiling, cabinets, trim, granite, and hardware installing ourselves to save money.

Be prepared for extra expenses on the interior part of the home because of the non conforming shape of the building that creates alot of customization for trim, drywall corners, cabinets, built in's, etc. 

Keep the window and door trim white and the shutters black.
