Sweat Equity

Brett and Amy Werger weren't serious about moving when they casually stopped at an open house four years ago. But they soon became buyers when they fell in love with all the space the 1968 split-level offered. Over the last few years they've opened up several walls, remodeled a bathroom, updated the fireplace and living area, and added wood flooring throughout their home, giving it a very "current" feel-exactly what future buyers will look for. They want to continue this spacious flow within the rest of their home by expanding the cramped master bedroom suite. They are up to the challenge of another remodel but the expansion would mean removing one of their bedrooms. With 6 bedrooms in their home, Brett & Amy are happy to give one up if it means a more spacious master suite, but can removing a bedroom be a good idea when it comes to resale?
