People from around the U.S. and all over the world covet a piece of Summit County. Year after year, many people invest in the community by building beautiful homes. To celebrate the work of local builders, the Summit Country Builders Association recently held its 26th annual Parade of Homes, and this year’s Mountain Living Peak Award winner for best overall home was built by Pinnacle Mountain Homes with cutting-edge electronics and window coverings by ListenUp. The ListenUp team worked with the builder and the clients from inception of the project. Structured wiring was installed at the framing stage, making it more efficient and cost-effective to implement advanced home automation and entertainment technologies later.
The ListenUp team designed and created a comprehensive Control4 system that’s easily operated via apps on tablets and smartphones, as well as hand-held controllers and flush-mounted touchpanels. There are 30 Bowers & Wilkins in-ceiling speakers powered by high-quality NAD amps for great sound everywhere. A Samsung 4K TV is mounted in nearly every room (10 TVs in all), including an 82-inch set in the game room which also features surround sound and an SVS subwoofer. A 65-inch Samsung Terrace outdoor TV graces the dining room deck above the pizza oven, while Bowers & Wilkins Mariner all weather speakers are mounted on the stone wall. Not only this, but the home is equipped with Hunter Douglas automated shades, Lutron Homeworks lighting control system, and 15 Nest thermostats all throughout the home.
