We did a lot of upgrades. The stretches were the big thing. We did 4 foot in the garage, 2 foot width kitchen--breakfast nook -- lanai, 2 foot width through bedrooms, 4 foot on end of lanai. And we upgraded the siding.

My favorite changes were the stretch in the kitchen because then I could pull the bar/island into the kitchen. In the standard Lilac, the bar ends on the carpet. In mine, I have some tile there. Gives more space to walk through. I also added pocket doors wherever I could. And the walk in Roman Shower. LOVE THEM. And the driveway, I made it the same width all the way to the street. oh, and..... I could go on.

My least favorite upgrade was the elevation. With the elevation I chose, you get the bigger window. But I don't like it. The shudders are too short now. It's a little thing though.
