HGTV is giving away this high-tech home in Bluffton. Hurry, it's the last day to enter!
Hurry, there is still time to win your dream home!
A high-tech Bluffton home built by HGTV is being given away, and the television network is letting people have two chances a day to win it.
Home and Garden Television's Smart Home Sweepstakes is accepting entries through 5 p.m. June 7 for the home in Palmetto Bluff.
The roughly 2,850-square-foot home’s design features an open floor plan with a master bedroom on the first floor and two additional bedrooms and a flex space upstairs. Colors have been kept muted in favor of a more textural aesthetic.
The home was designed by Tiffany Brooks, Season 8 winner of "HGTV Star," who in a video on the giveaway’s website calls Palmetto Bluff "one of the Lowcountry's best kept secrets." Brooks describes the home as a "true Southern escape" that combines charm with modern elements.
The kitchen features beadboard cabinets with "tons of storage," Brooks says, pointing out floating shelves and custom-fitted drawers around the sink for no wasted space.
According to Matt Kothe, media relations specialist with Discovery, almost every device in the home can be voice-activated through Amazon Echo.
The bathrooms include motion-activated smart toilets made by Kohler. The master bathroom toilet, called the Numi, comes with seat and foot warmers and a remote control. It even plays music.
Smart technology abounds throughout the home, from a hidden gaming and virtual reality room, to solar powered skylights, to smart window tint that can change opacity with the touch of a button. The closet in the master bedroom features a rotating shoe carousel.
The home’s construction is documented on the HGTV website in an extensive photo gallery, and a style gallery that details all of the decor choices.
The prize package also includes a 2018 Mercedes-Benz hybrid vehicle and $100,000 provided by Quicken Loans to help defray costs related to owning the home.
