We have recently: 1) added a 150,000 BTU natural gas fire pit ideal for year-round outdoor socializing; 2) upgraded our WiFi to extra-high speed (600 mbps); 3) installed a whole-house, standby backup generator so that the house will never lose any power, even in the event of storm-related damage to the Cape electric grid; 4) installed an extra refrigerator (21 cu. ft.) in the lower level to provide ample storage for weekly or longer stays; 5) added new decking to the walk-out, water-view patio below the deck; 6) added new furniture throughout the house, including the living room and bedrooms; and 7) added a new Saber high-end, stainless steel BBQ grill.<br />
