Both the front and back yards are irrigated using well water which is also accessible via 2 yard hydrants for filling the pool and washing cars. Heating and cooling for above-ground floors is provided by a ground-source geothermal system, basement heating is supplied by electric baseboard heaters, and at least 85% of electricity for the house is supplied by the full array of solar panels. Windows are professionally tinted to protect furniture and provide varying degrees of privacy.

The property includes enhanced protection from major water events, with a drain in the backyard tied to the street drainage pipes, a heavy-duty sump pump in the basement, with a manually triggered sump in case of power outage. Upgraded Mirage maple hardwood floors cover a majority of the first and second floors, with upgraded carpet on the 3rd floor and a combination of luxury vinyl and upgraded carpet in the basement.
