How do you want to use it? What do you want the property to do for you?

I can tell you that if you are going to update beyond just cosmetic stuff you will need an architect. Please do that before adding rooms, moving walls etc. or you might get no bang for lots of bucks!

The experts say the biggest return on your money is kitchens and baths. The current ticket is ceramic in the baths, wood floors in the living and Kitchen areas, granite countertops, upscale stoves/ cooktops (gas) new or refronted cabinets. For a 70's house the master bath is the biggest problem since they were typically too small. This is where you might need the architect. Also some times the master can be relocated -so once again the architect is needed.

If you have a tear-down, figure what the place is worth and figure $125-150/ sq ft for at lease 2200 sq ft to see if that makes sense. I think demo costs would be $10-15,000 (?) If this is totally unrealistic in your developement or for your lot then rehab makes more sense.

Just my humble opinion. Good luck!
