Original Upgrades in the Home

When the house was purchased new in 2009, a number of upgrades were purchased with the home that add some nice touches that other similar homes in the neighborhood may not have.  Some of these upgrades include:

• Single arch 2-paneled doors throughout the home (standard offering was flat slab doors)
• Upgraded kitchen cabinets (and matching bath vanities) with maple wood and single arch doors
• Addition of a bar height counter in the kitchen area (standard home just included a half height wall without the bar counter)
• Upgraded white appliances, including a self-cleaning oven and side-by-side refrigerator with ice-maker and in-the-door filtered water dispenser
• Upgraded kitchen sink to white porcelain enamel (standard offering was stainless steel sink)
• Ceiling fan wiring/structure support throughout the house (this allows a separate switch for the light and second switch for the fan on all ceiling fans in the house)
• Expanded patio covering and patio - this house includes an 10x12 ft patio covering instead of the standard 10x6 ft patio covering and patio that many of the other homes have

• Upgraded carpeting - the stairs and upstairs have upgraded nylon carpeting, which was a significant additional cost.  Nylon carpeting wears better and lasts longer than polypropylene carpeting.
• Extended countertop in the hall bath upstairs.  (standard counter top is 30 inches wide), This home features a 60 inch wide countertop in the upstairs hall bath.
• Comfort height double sink bath vanity in the master bath with built-in drawers (these are taller height vanities (this is a new feature giving 36" height counters instead of the standard 30 to 32 inches, standard floor plan only included a single sink, also the standard vanity had no drawers only two doors on each side)
• Garden tub in the master bathroom (instead of a standard bath tub)
• Pre-plumbed for a water softener in the garage (all the plumbing for the addition of a water softener is done and located in the garage)

These are the the upgrades that were included with the home in 2009 and provide a lot of additional comfort features.
