🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
The owners invested heavily in windows ($92K) for natural light and views—their #1 "worth it" expense. They splurged on the kitchen because they use it daily. The spray foam insulation keeps energy bills surprisingly low despite 4,200 sq ft and massive windows. In hindsight, they could have simplified the pool design and smart home features to save $50K without sacrificing quality of life.
