This is the year when a little work can go a long way when it comes to making improvements on your home. Making just a few minor upgrades will not only improve its curb appeal and function, but it will also boost your homes value when its time to sell.

According to Remodeling magazines 2014 cost vs. value report, the value of remodeling projects is up across the board. The average cost recouped on remodeling projects hit 66.1 percent nationally, up 5.5 percent over last year and the largest increase since 2005.

For local builder Scott Tarkleson of Fenton Lakes Building & Design, these numbers not only mean that more people will be investing in their homes this year, but that they will be more confident doing more extensive projects like master bath suites, major kitchen remodels, two-story additions, etc.

So many of the homes in the tri-county area are built with just a rudimentary tub or shower, toilet and sink, said Tarkleson. You can really add value for fewer dollars and create a real selling point for your home.

Projects like replacing your front door, doing minor kitchen renovations (appliances, countertop, cabinetry hardware) or building a deck can make a big impact on your homes value without breaking the bank. These small fixes can make your whole home appear more modern, updated and upscale.

Remodeling projects that dont make the grade

Many of these projects require additions that add function and space, but are also costly renovations.

Average cost: $28,000

Average cost recouped: 48.9 percent

There is no needle on a compass rose. The purpose of the nautical symbol is to depict the directions on a map -- true north, south, east and west, and all points in between. Needle or not, the wood inlaid compass rose in the handsome Tudor-style Colonial house at 20 Beagling Hill Circle is pointing its next residents homeward. The rose is set into the marble tile floor of the home's two-story foyer.

The house sits in a private setting in The Ridge of Greenfield Hill, Fairfield's only gated community of luxury homes. The Ridge provides a quiet community not far from the Westport border, and surprisingly close to shopping and commuter routes, given its bucolic location.

The house provides a combination of large entertaining and family spaces. Recreational activities are available on the two-acre level property as well as in the community itself. The house has a heated in-ground Gunite swimming pool with a retractable cover and hot tub, while the neighborhood association has a clubhouse, community swimming pool and tennis courts.

The brick, stucco and wood house was built in 1989, but has since been updated and enhanced throughout. The front entrance features double doors with decorative panes of leaded and beveled glass and above them is a large Palladian window.

Inside, it has 6,302 square feet of living space that includes a new chef's kitchen with double appliances, a large center island, granite counters, two built-in computer work stations, and a pot-filler over the gas range. There is also a sliding door to the wood deck.

In the sunken formal living room there is a two-story Palladian window and a fireplace. In one section of the room the ceiling is vaulted. Another portion has a nine-foot-plus coffered ceiling. The family room is also sunken and has its own gas-fueled fireplace embedded in a wall of red brick with a beam mantle and wet bar with a granite counter, glass-front cabinets, beverage refrigerator and icemaker. A sliding door leads to a spacious sunroom, which has wood paneled walls, walls of windows, skylights and French doors to the deck.

Another door leads to a room with ceramic tile flooring, a full bath and a door to the deck. It's a flexible purpose space that the current family uses as a gym. A generous-size mudroom on the opposite end of the house has a built-in bench, closets and cubbies.

Audio speakers are built into the walls in the formal living and dining rooms and kitchen.

On the second floor, the master bedroom suite is quite large and yet is divided in such a way that it feels warm and intimate. Its dressing or sitting room has a fireplace; the walk-in closet is outfitted with numerous built-in drawers, shelves and other organizers, and the master bath has a jetted tub and granite vanity.

In addition to several more bedrooms this floor also has an oversized recreation or media room with a vaulted ceiling and long wall of built-in bookshelves.

On the market: Live regally in this Tudor

The $500,000 expansion of Newark Archbishop John J. Myers already substantial rural retirement house has drawn the attention of Catholics across the region as much for its lavish details as for its timing, as Myers asks parishioners to contribute to his annual appeal and to a $100 million capital fundraising drive.

Almost no notice has been paid to the living quarters of the Most Rev. Bernard Hebda, whom Pope Francis named last year as Myers prime assistant and likely successor in what many Catholic Church observers say was the new popes most significant early appointment. Hebda was seen as a prelate who personified the popes desire for a humbler clergy that shuns the ostentation that has sometimes marked the church hierarchy.

Hebda lives in a dormitory room on the campus of Seton Hall University. The contrast between the two residences may serve as a marker in a church at a crossroads.

In all its glory, Hebdas quarters in Xavier Hall includes a living room, a bedroom and a study, he said in a recent interview.

I thought it would be a good idea to live close to the seminary give me a chance to meet future priests. Also, I enjoy being around college students, said Hebda, who did not comment directly about the expansion of Myers retirement home.

Seton Hall students said theyve seen plenty of Hebda around campus watching the seminarian basketball team at practice and attending nightly prayer circles in his dorm.

Alex Pierlott, 22, a senior from Camden County, said she joined about a dozen other students after a recent Saturday Mass to have lunch with Hebda and discuss the campus ministry.

Jessica Kalto, 18, a freshman diplomacy major from New York City, said she hoped Myers had a good reason to spend as much as $500,000 on his own retirement residence in the woods of Hunterdon County. And contrasting the archbishop and Hebda, who was appointed coadjutor archbishop of Newark last year, she said, At least not all our bishops are like that.

Finances criticized

The cash-strapped archdiocese, which has shut 78 Catholic schools since 2000, is financing the 3,000-square-foot addition to Myers house, which will include new amenities like an indoor exercise pool, three fireplaces and a fifth bedroom. Myers has faced a flurry of criticism in the wake of media reports about the upscale dwelling.

The Sellin' With CC Team Hosts Another Open House In Riverside This Sunday

The new owners of one of Vancouvers most storied character homes, Casa Mia, are set to take their plans for the property to a public hearing March 13.

Maureen McIntosh and Lynn Aarvold of The Care Group bought the property at 1920 Southwest Marine Drive for $10 million in 2010 and now want the property rezoned so they can build a 62-bed, two-storey long-term care wing onto the mansion, according to documents filed with the city.

The proposed plans, drawn up by Stuart Howard Architects, would see the heritage mansion preserved, but converted for care, dining, lounge and recreational use. A LEED Gold Certified facility complete with basement, 16 spaces of underground parking and three loading bays would be built adjacent and connected to the mansion, extending toward the northern edge of the property.

The Spanish Revival mansion, built in 1932 by beer baron and supposed rum-runner George C. Reifel, is painted with as much colourful myth and history as the man himself.

It was at the start of the Great Depression that Reifel built the eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom 1,860 square metre mansion, according to a heritage conservation plan for Casa Mia by Donald Luxton and Associates. He paid for Casa Mia in cash, according to the plan, and the buildings opulence hardly reflected the dire times.

It did however, reflect Hollywoods obsession with romantic and swashbuckling dramas and an era when pricey homes were expected to reflect an identifiable historical style, according to the plan. In the case of Casa Mia, that style was Spanish Revival, as seen in its shape, cement stucco siding, terra cotta roof tiles and wrought iron gate.

Inside, there is a ballroom in the basement where jazz legends played when they werent performing at other Reifel-built venues such as the Commodore Block or the Vogue and Studio theatres.

The upstairs playroom in a third-floor tower was decorated by Disney artists in 1938 with scenes from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

There is a billiards room, a lounge, a curved grand staircase, a sunroom with views of the Fraser River, and a backyard pool. There are fireplaces, a library, and a basement vault with a hidden drop chute for valuables.

What there is not, however, is an oft-rumoured secret tunnel built between Casa Mia and nearby Rio Vista at 2170 Southwest Marine Dr., where the family supposedly stored U.S.-bound booze. Jane Reifel, one of George Reifels three children, told the Sun in 2007 that story is a myth.
