I have asked builders to include (in no particular order):
- Knockdown ceilings
- Vinyl Plank flooring on main
- Granite kitchen counters and island (pretty much standard now for kitchens)
- Granite counters in the ensuite and 'kids bathrooms' upstairs
- Upgraded ensuite with double vanity, tiled shower with glass door
- Chimney hood fan in kitchen
- Gas range
- Pot lights for main floor
- Landscaping gift cards (as much as the builder is willing to give)
- Blinds package
- Backyard deck (12x10) with stairs, railing and gas line
- 2 car garage
Was contemplating a gas fireplace, but in the models I have seen it sticks out and takes up too much space in the great room and also eliminates a logical place for a TV (not a fan of mounting a tv over a fireplace). So take out fireplace to save about $2500 and maybe get a smaller mobile ethanol fireplace if we can find the appropriate creative space for it.
If there is anything missing you can suggest I'm all ears!
