Advanced technology enhances convenience and security, including remote controlled solar blinds for shading and privacy, an MVHR system for optimal air circulation, multi-point locking doors and windows, and high-speed ethernet cabling throughout, extending to outdoor areas. Thoughtful landscaping and hardscaping integrate the home seamlessly into its natural surroundings of mature trees and native hedgerows.
