A map of the A/V wiring is included with the sale. The details of this home are impeccable. The main flooring is a 9" wide tile-wood plank flooring. This tile product is designed to look like wood but with the durability of tile. The highly upgraded tile-wood plank was actually more expensive than the real hardwood that was originally selected for the home and is very durable with kids and pets. Most people don't believe it's not real wood when they see it! The bathroom features 24" travertine on the floors as well as in the showers. The theatre room features a premium-grade multi-color shag carpet that gives the theatre room that fun feeling. This carpet was just debuted at the flooring show in Las Vegas and will not be found in many homes yet. The home has a central vacuum system roughed-in.

Faux-wood ceiling beams are found in the office, dining room, master bedroom, and bedroom #2. All plumbing fixtures are high-end oil rubbed bronze Brizo fixtures with matching accessories right down to the toilet flush levers! When we said no detail was over-looked, we weren't kidding! The kitchen, prep-sink, wet bar, and master suite coffee station feature SmartTouch technology which means you set the temperature and turn it on by simply touching anywhere on the faucet. The entire house interior was painted in Dunn Edwards low-VOC paint.
