Additional improvements include energy-efficient windows and doors, custom solid-wood interior doors, a custom front entry door, recessed lighting, plantation shutters, PEX plumbing and updated living spaces throughout most of the home.

Energy and technology upgrades include more than 20 owned solar panels, a newer Tesla inverter with a 12.5-year warranty, upgraded electrical, a Level 2 EV charger and a whole-house surge protector.
