Small summer kitchen has an under counter icemaker. I highly recommend if you are going to throw parties at your house. You’ll always have enough ice in the hot summers. All appliances are top line outdoor rated. Important for that hot compressor outside at 95 degrees in the shade. We had top choice Pebble Tec put in the interior of the pool. Also highly recommend the in ground storage compartment for a solar pool blanket. It’s called Clear Deck. It spools under ground when not in use so you don’t see the pool blanket. We use it every day November to April to maintain the heat in the pool. You only lose about 4 degrees at night so you save on electricity (heat pump). We keep our pool at 85 in the winter and our electricity is $150 extra on average Dec-March.Worth every penny to use year round. We don’t need to heat the pool during hottest summer months. It stays at 85-87 in summer I heated but our pool faces North so no chiller needed. Our deck is Cool Deck that is a 3 fleck multi color that blends with house color and always cool to your feet in the hottest of days. Pool edge coping is travertine tile. Cage is 27x55 with 20/20 screen to keep out no seeums with a special engineered view design with less vertical posts (if you have a view). Price tag 3 years ago $175K. You get what you pay for with T&D. Top line work built in 4 months.

Your pool today would be close to $225k. A simple 10x28 no frills pool with T&D is $ 145k ( family quoted 2 weeks ago)
We use liquid solar blanket. 11,500 gallons, 50-60 night temp we drop 2 degrees. 35-45 we drop 4 degrees, but sun quickly bring back to temp within a few hours. During Jan/Feb we use 6-10KwH per day to heat 84 degrees for family, otherwise I keep at 79-80 during winter. Not a fan of warm water to swim
