Have fun house hunting. So many to choose from.

True. The house we finally settled on was only 4 years old.
But it had crown molding, upgraded luxury vinyl plank and plantation shutters throughout, a forward stretched garage with an epoxied floor, built in garage cabinets, a painted lanai floor and driveway, a water filtration/softener system, additional attic insulation and stairs, cabinet drawers, custom closets...
All we did was paint and replace some light fixtures to match our taste...
The downside?
We would have liked to stretched the extra bedrooms and have a full size golf cart garage door instead of the smaller one... And my wife hates the split kitchen sink... We're looking into changing that out...
