Projects that increase a homes value are in the kitchen, the bathrooms and master suite. Those three are the biggies that most buyers will be interested in. Don't use your own interests/ wants as a gauge for that. For instance, if you're big into cars and install a lift in the garage, most people won't care about that and it won't improve your value.

This is a great reply. Any further details/reading/recommendations on the topic? I want to create a cozy environment that'll sell fast when it comes time for that.

The only other thing I can think of is, if you're going to splurge on expensive materials, do it in those rooms. Want marble somewhere? Don't put it in the living room floor, put it on the kitchen counter top.
Things like a home theatre in the basement are iffy. I might like it, but the retired couple might give two shits. Reducing your market.
Reading and stuff- talk to appraisers, not Realtors. Appraiser know what sells in your area and what drives your price up when looking at comparable in your market. Much of it varies from town to town. A swimming pool might be great in Miami, in Cleveland not so much.
