For movie night, the living room is wired for surround sound, and the primary bath has ceiling speakers built in for a any soundtrack. Check the video doorbell or security system from your phone at lunch, and come home to lights already set the way you like them, with Philips Hue color-changing bulbs in every recessed can. Working from home, the house is wired for full coverage everywhere, with ceiling mounts and ethernet run to every room, ready for your own access points or mesh system. If a bedroom becomes an office, the circuit's already rated for 20 amps. Multiple monitors, no tripped breakers. The smart refrigerator, washer, and dryer, all newer models, plus the second refrigerator in the garage are available with the right offer. Step into a fully fenced backyard with a large shade tree, and don't think twice about the lawn: the HOA handles landscaping front and back every two weeks. Very quiet, can't hear any road noise. No carpet anywhere either, just LVP and polished concrete throughout. None of it rides on old infrastructure. The tankless water heater has new valves and gets serviced every year, same with the HVAC. Every window carries a transferable lifetime warranty, and solar panels are included to help lower your monthly expenses. A full list of upgrades and their dates is attached separately.
