Does New Appliances/Cosmetics add resale value? If so, How Much?

Need some advice BP!!

Working on submitting a counter-offer on a potential short term Buy/Hold, which i expect to Flip within 2yrs.

The property is offered at $105K, down $10K under market price. I believe a $10K-$15K remodel investment can reap $135K-$160K resale/refinance value.

I have several ideas to make the property more appealing and update some needed repairs, but unsure how  these things will impact my resale value. The property is a duplex, which from my estimate; only needs new appliances (washer, dryer, stove, refrig), restoration of front exterior wooden steps, and a new fence around the property for more curb appeal.

Looking for thoughts/facts on how to increase value? Example, does a new stove worth $1500K increase my property value by $1500K? $1800K? $2000K? $1000K? etc

Thanks
