First addition, a combination power drill and screwdriver.
This tool makes everything from changing cabinet hardware
to installing a deadbolt a breeze. 
A random orbit sander is a great choice that can help with
projects from finish work to stripping paint. Its action
leaves you with a flawless finish, plus these sanders suck
dust up through holes in the sandpaper and filter it into
a dust bag creating less dust than a regular sander. Make
sure that you still wear a safety mask! 
A circular saw is another tool you may want to invest in.
If you do a lot of projects that require a saw it will
save you a lot of time and is more precise than a handsaw.
A multi-position ladder can be indispensable for a variety
of projects. Use it as a regular stepladder, an extension
ladder to reach the roof and clean gutters or for
scaffolding for painting and window washing.
