I agree with you except...Attic stairs, our new homes came with blinds. We kept the original landscaping from both houses. The landscaping they give you is lovely and very right for this part of Florida, it lives through frosts and I think they do a great job with arrangement.

We later added pebbles and low walls and removed a few bushes. Things grow fast here.

We added downspouts and brought our washer and dryer with us. I personally prefer a new home since resales are about the same price here. We have had only two used homes out of eleven.
