Beautiful house!

I like the fact that the door does not have a window; I assume you have a “peek-hole.” If not, you need to install one.

I'm concerned about the security of the ground floor windows. You may mitigate risk by installing decorative bronze bars with sharpened grape leaves. If a potential intruder attempts to enter they may be later identified by dna gleaned from their blood.

You should remove trees within twenty feet of the house. This is not only a security issue; the root systems can play havoc with your plumbing, especially if you have a septic tank.

You also need a moat. No reason except having a moat is pretty darn cool.

My talents run more towards security than HVAC...

LOL .. I could tell!

Yep, have a peep hole. ;)

The neighborhood .. is the best for security.
The windows, actually the house is protected by ADT.

The trees, according to the tree folks are all non-intrusive maples and the plumbing is all under the house 'except' the water main which runs under the drive .. away from any trees.
(No septic, only sewer)
