If you entered the sweepstakes for the 2025 HGTV Smart Home, be listening for a knock on your door!
According to a new post on HGTV’s Instagram account, the home in San Antonio, Texas is about to have a brand new owner.
The network writes, “Someone’s about to get the news of a lifetime. 🥳 @poonamsbydesign is headed to surprise the WINNER of HGTV Smart Home 2025 — a $1.1M grand prize that includes a fully furnished home in San Antonio, TX + a 2025 Mercedes-Benz Hybrid SUV and $100,000 cash! 💰 Will it be you??”
The video shows Smart Home designer and general contractor Poonam Moore – who says she’s at the airport, on her way to surprise this year’s winner.
While Poonam says where she’s headed in the video, her words are bleeped out and her mouth is shielded by a graphic of question marks.
The HGTV 2025 Smart Home Is Different Than Previous Sweepstakes Homes
Unlike other sweepstakes homes that HGTV has built from the ground up, this home was originally built in the 1950s.
And it looked every bit of its age before HGTV designers worked their magic. But they still stayed true to the house’s authentic mid-century modern vibes.
The home started as a hodge podge of rusty brick and brown siding, with a faded gray roof.
Many of the front windows were tiny. And the landscaping was practically nonexistent.
Poonam and her crew transformed the property into a creamy white house with huge windows and rich wood trim.
The dark roof pops against the white house. And the landscaping features planter boxes and manicured spaces highlighting the beautiful trees in front of the house.
The yard features an outdoor oasis featuring a giant covered back patio with room for dining. It also has a basketball court and a refreshing cold plunge perfect for the steamy summers of south Texas. The home’s upper level also gained a beautiful back balcony.
The Smart Home Package Comes With Lots of Extras
Wherever Poonam Moore is headed, the person who gets that life-changing knock on the door gets more than just a house.
The winner of the sweepstakes will receive keys to the more than 3,000 square foot home, a new 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC Plug-In Hybrid SUV, and $100,000 cash.
And that home is jam-packed with special features.
In a press release, HGTV says “this stunning renovation merges nostalgic charm with a sporty, high-tech twist. Designed for indoor-outdoor living, the open concept home spans over 3,000 square feet, featuring three luxurious bedrooms, three spa-inspired bathrooms, and creative outdoor spaces like the relaxing balcony.”
The home promises to be a sports enthusiast’s paradise. The press release specifies features including a “private basketball court, a sports-inspired media lounge, multiple gaming consoles, and a refreshing cold plunge. The house is full of smart features and solutions for effortless entertaining.”
There are no details on when the winner will be announced, but stay tuned!
