My latest project is a cute little ranch in Elkins Park, PA (just outside Philly). 

For a little context, the property already had quite a new upgrades when I purchased it. We are simply planning to update the bathrooms, refinish bedroom floors, open up a kitchen wall, tidy up basement and do a little landscaping. Rehab budget around $20K - $25K and 4-5 week timeline.

While I have my own thoughts on the rehab, I thought it would be interesting to crowdsource input from this forum on particular items, such as:

Pergola in backyard:

1) Keep it

2) Remove it

3) Replace canopy (if so, which material)?

Doorway arches:

1) Keep them (as is)

2) Update them - with trim molding

3) Remove them

Fireplace:

1) Leave as it is

2) Whitewash the bricks

3) Other ideas?
