New York Giants QB, Eli Manning, recently took Electronic House on a tour of the 3,000-square-foot Hoboken, New Jersey condo he shares with his wife Abby. While it’s far from flashy, the Manhattan-view home features a fairly extensive automation system, giving the Manning’s (remote) control over everything from the motorized shades to the Batman-style hidden bar. Here’s just a sampling of what you’ll find in Eli’s Southern-style city crib:
- Creston controllers offering one-touch control of lights, audio, video, motorized shades, and more
- Request server to manage music: iTunes, satellite radio, CD’s, etc.
- Remote-controlled hidden bar filled with top shelf liquor
- Joystick-remote-controlled laptop loaded with NY Giants supplied footage
- Multi-layered motorized shades throughout the house, including a blackout layer
- Sharp and Samsung flat screen TV’s throughout, including a 63-inch Samsung 1080p plasma set in Eli’s study
- Automated bathroom sound system
