In the kitchen we held onto a quite old but solid stainless steel countertop and added white glossy cabinets that looked higher end (these seem more popular over here than the US for some reason)

Need some tree trimming, install counter top, misc woodwork.

I was thinking of advertising it to Realtors around town in the "white box" stage of completion, meaning it is drywalled/mudded/taped/sanded but there is no paint on the interior, no flooring, no appliances, no countertops, no moulding, no hardware.

No countertops, no light fixtures.

Partially, to make the point that there are always those deals that do NOT fall in the realm of 'typical'.I recently rehabbed a house that I bought from a Professional Flipper who I have supplied cabinets and counter tops to (my day job) for many years.

He was also cutting on the countertops without a cutting board creating those ugly slice marks!!

I would say that cabinets + countertops at $4,500 could be good depending on your area.

I'd expect no one else to have granite countertops - so that would be an over-improvement, right?

Original refinished hard wood, granite counter tops, etc.
