A Generac whole house generator, a Viking dual fuel range and a Toto bidet. All are “priceless”!😉

Opened up the wall between kitchen and dining in my Coronado model. Removed tub in guest bath, and replaced 30” box shower with open Roman shower in master bath. Much more modern.

Gas and electric at all appliance locations....plus on the lanai.
I'm trying to imagine what the dishwasher looks like. Do you have a picture? Sounds like a great idea.

Default Unusual Home Feature

My home has an illuminated lighthouse on the exterior and a turntable and mixer setup on the interior replete with supporting 8 track, cassette, cd player and VHS player. This is to play a very large vinyl, cassette, CD and VHS media collection also located on the interior.

None! I’m going to try for a note from the kids saying they love us. Of all the nice things, that’s the best so far!

Nothing unusual, it’s just perfect for my wife and I. We love our home in The Villages!

Default Some ideas

Pull out shelving in the bottom kitchen cabinets and in the pantry so we can easily get to items in the back.
Custom master bedroom closet rather than the wire racks that seem to come standard.
Skylights are common in living area but we added one in the master bedroom and in the guest bathroom - both of which lacked light from outside and both of these tubes have solar powered "night lights".
We added soffett lights around the perimeter and put on dusk to dawn sensor AND also added a dimmer switch in the garage.
We added a chandelier over the dining area table on a dimmer switch. Makes for much nicer lighting than the standard ceiling lights plus can only light up the dining area.
