My thought exactly.[/quote]
AN and ocrenter,
This 1990 remodel was of a mid-century design which featured very sleek kitchen cabinets. There are a LOT of cabinets in that kitchen but they are very flush and you can’t easily see them in the photo. There is also a second sink on the other side. I personally don’t like the sinks separated . . . I would prefer them together (guess a double sink is also outdated now, lol).
The bathroom shower shown in the pics is of glass block which is also a mid-century design feature.
I own an actual mid-century house (WWII box) which was remodeled to the studs in 1993 with these same mid-century design features so am familiar with them and like them. If you are used to more elaborate kitchen cabinets, this kitchen will look “spartan” to you, but it is no less valuable. There is actually nothing wrong with this kitchen except for a couple of possibly outdated wall ovens. It’s all a matter of taste.
For a “million bucks,” what you SHOULD be comparing is the 11K lot of Shadetree at Stonebridge to the 1.5 AC lot of Orchard Bend. Instead, you’re groveling over kitchen cabinets. IMO, from an investment standpoint, that’s not too smart.
You CAN’T FIX the 11K lot (w/a 5000+ sf house on it, lol) but you CAN FIX kitchen cabinets if you don’t like them!!
