KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- When Tomahawk, Wisconsin, resident Stacy Bolder sat down with family at a local
sports bar and restaurant for an early 40th birthday brunch, she
had no idea she was about to receive the most unforgettable
birthday present of her life. HGTV® Smart Home 2017 host and
interior designer Tiffany Brooks,
undercover as a waitress in training, delivered the good news by
telling Bolder that she had won the stunning Southwestern-style
home in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Planned by local architect Candelaria Design Associates and
constructed by local builder Eagle Luxury Properties, the home is
part of a grand prize package valued at more than $1.5 million. In addition to the home and all its
furnishings, the package includes a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 550e
4MATIC® and $100,000 from national
mortgage lender Quicken Loans®.
"It is so surreal," Bolder said. "I never in a million years
thought this would ever happen to me!"
Bolder, a teacher in the Tomahawk school district for 17 years who also
serves as her school's athletic director, thought her waitress
looked familiar, but it wasn't until she spotted Brooks with an
HGTV microphone that it started to click. When Brooks delivered an
ice cream cake bearing the message "You're the winner!" to her
table, Bolder was in disbelief. "I was blown away," the
self-described HGTV super fan explained. "It blows my mind that I
would even have the opportunity to see the house, much less win
it!"
Bolder's sister and brother-in-law, whose residence in
Phoenix is what spurred Bolder to
enter the sweepstakes, were in town visiting and were part of the
ambush planning. They kept the news to themselves to ensure maximum
surprise value for Bolder, her husband and their two sons.
HGTV Smart Home 2017 is a single-level Southwestern-style home
with approximately 3,300-square-feet, three bedrooms and
three-and-a-half bathrooms and is cleverly constructed with tech
gadgets and smart solutions to enhance entertaining and everyday
living. It features a spacious three-car garage, a wet bar, home
office, generous pantry and laundry area, as well as a sleek,
modern pool for cooling off in the desert heat. Brooks used a
variety of stone, metal, wood, leather and glass materials
throughout the home to give it a current and authentic style full
of nods to Arizona's heritage.
Bolder and her husband will be in Scottsdale soon to see the home for the first
time. Viewers can watch her reaction to the birthday ambush and see
her first tour of the home by tuning in to the HGTV Smart Home
2017 Giveaway Special, airing Friday,
