Upgrades to 1832 San Felipe Circle

prior to our January, 2018 purchase

•  Major electrical upgrade with a new panel, grounded outlets, and recessed lighting 
•  Wifi (in hall closet)
•  Dual pane windows throughout, 
•  New on demand hot water heater, 
•  Remodeled kitchen with a utility room addition,
•  Refinished hardwood floors with matching hardwood floors in the kitchen and utility room,
•  Original fireplace redone as Kiva style fireplace,
•  Small bathroom with shower immediately adjacent to master bedroom,
•  Updated master bathroom,
•  A single car finished, insulated garage with new garage door and storage shelving, 
•  New elastomeric stucco on the entire outside of the house,
•  And a new torch down roof which still has a full year left on its warranty. This warranty is transferrable and can be extended for $300/year

Upgrades to 1832 San Felipe Circle

after January, 2018

•  Incandescent custom light fixtures throughout house,
•  Whole house water filtration system (eliminates chlorine & fluoride) and includes outside watering as well,
•  Spark arrestor installed atop chimney,
•  Hunter Douglas honeycomb insulating window coverings throughout whole house,
•  Two (2) 515 gallon water catchment tanks to collect roof water,
•  Retractable clothes line,
•  Shower outlet was lower 6 inches and hand held shower head installed in small bathroom off the master bedroom, 
•  Landscaping: $16,000+ of organic fruit trees and native plants that use little to no additional water now that they are established. The native trees as they mature will provide shade to the West side of the house,

Evolution of the backyard:
The long raised bed on the left
and the shorter one against the
far adobe wall are covered.

•  3 raised beds (two with plastic covering which functions better than shade cloth to create “hoop” houses) for vegetable growing,
•  “Zen” curtains hung outside of the front windows to eliminate bird collisions and ensuing death,
•  Entire inside of house repainted with Benjamin Moore low VOC paint,
•  And new Trane high efficiency, very quiet furnace and air conditioning and better than HEPA whole house air filtration to reduce allergens and pollutants; all with extended warranties and  SMART thermostat.
•  Immediately after installation of the above, all of the air vents in the house were thoroughly cleaned and new matching screws applied to all vent covers.

This entire property (grounds or home) has had no synthetic chemicals applied to or used in since January, 2018, thus is suitable for chemically sensitive individuals or those with autoimmune disorders that are triggered by toxic chemicals.
