A lot of great suggestions. Two things I would note:
1) The kitchen. When we stretched the house we added 2 feet to our kitchen. When we built 5 years ago, we were not impressed with the quality of the kitchen cabinets nor with the creativity of our designer. So we installed the basic cabinets and countertops. We have since redesigned the kitchen, have new cabinets, quartz countertops, and a much better hood. If you are serious cooks, gas cook top is much better than induction. Wish we had figured out a way for real pantry. Also, you should upgrade the water shut off to your sinks and refrigerator. The ones that they install are junk.
2) Closets - we replaced the wire racks in the closets with closet inserts. Increased our storage immensely. If your are not a DYIer, there are a few companies in the area who do quality work.
Have fun and Good Luck.
