Renovation rough estimate?
Curious if anyone has a rough estimate for a kitchen and bathroom renovation. Am hoping to bid on a park slope parlor floor thru in need of some updating and want to be sure to include the renovations in my budget before submitting an offer. Also, the apartment currently has two very small bathrooms, was thiking of combining the two to create one larger bathroom - any idea if this will this help or hinder resale potential?

FYI, our new full bath (no bathtub, just a shower, but a really nice one) is still a very small space, only about 4 x 5, and yet it feels very spacious and airy due to great design (we credit our designer). So, even small spaces can be maximized to make them feel bigger than they are. Not sure what the actual measurements are of your "extremely small" BR's, but food for thought. Also, is there any other part of apt that can be eaten into to go towards the bathrooms? In our case, we gave up a linen closet in bedroom adjacent to half bath (that closet was the space we used to make a shower in new full bath) and it was totally worth it (luckily, the apt has lots of other closets).

The bathrooms are side by side in one hallway - both are extremely small, research indicates that 2 bathrooms does help with resale - but given their location and size, I wonder if the combo is worth it (it would definitely make living there more enjoyable).
