Many of us bought a pre-owned home that we otherwise love but have upgrades that just aren't worth it.
My list includes:
Built in vacuum. While it is nice, it is I just don't use it that much as I thought I would. Even with a self storing hose. My wife doesn't vacuum much, she is indifferent.
Vented gas fireplace. It's nice for a few weeks this time of year but the cost could be better allocated elsewhere.

Agree on both, especially the central vac. Those are difficult/costly to install on finished construction unless you have an unfinished basement, which Villages homes do not. The ambiance of the vented gas fireplace eventually wears off and doesn’t justify the expense. Plus, for a much cheaper price you can get an outdoor propane fire pit to occasionally scratch the itch of sitting by a fire.
