Voice controlled lighting sets the mood in this Baltimore bachelor pad. The owner issues simple verbal orders to nearly 167 lights, including 30 color-changing Philips Hue light bulbs to accentuate the home’s modern design and create an atmosphere that’s bathed in beautiful lighting. This mood lighting can even be engaged prior to the owner’s arrival with a guest. From a smartphone app, a Home command can be launched which sets the lights in the garage to a blue color and the kitchen fixtures to a teal green.

Other button presses and voice commands set the lights to accentuate pieces of artwork, prep the home theater for a movie presentation, and showcase a rack of A/V and home control equipment.

Admired by Patrick O’Rahilly and his then fiancée Cathy as they passed by on their way to play golf, this 8-bedroom house would eventually become the honeymooners’ dream house, but not before they remodeled it from top to bottom. Redone in rich wood and lush fabrics, the home exudes a warm and welcoming aura, along with a touch of sex appeal. The home’s newly installed Savant automation system enhances the romantic ambiance by keeping the lights a dim, eye-pleasing level. The master bedroom, in particular, makes hearts swoon with a remote controllable gas fireplace, 4K video, and surround sound.
