It was built in the 80s, but was not wired for telephone.

Well, from your list we have a garbage disposal, but that's hardly unusual. All the houses in my town are relatively new (late 1980s+) and they all have disposals.

We also have a piano. It's an old spinet (upright) from the 1960s which I inherited from my parents. Again, hardly anything to jump up and down about.

The house was originally all carpeted, even the bathrooms (well, not the kitchen). We hated it and replaced much of it with tile and laminate.

We have a built in space for folks to leave their shoes by the kitchen door. Plus the whole house is single wall (the walls are T & G vertical boards and all the walls are one board thick) with no heater or A/C. Does that count as special? It's kinda typical for my neighborhood, though.

No attic and no basement ( pretty unique to ME), but have smart thermostat, partial home automation, bidet, CCTV that are not very common but not unique.
Piano, pool, hot tub, garage opener, granite countertops, garbage disposal, carpet are pretty common features.

The wellhead is in the basement which is going to be really convenient when I add a manual pump. They built a little bunker that extends out under a front patio. I haven't looked but keep in mind this is probably a 500 foot well, there is an aluminum plate on the patio covering the hole to extract the well pipes.

lol, a garbage disposal is "unique"? an electric garage door opener is "unique"? a piano is "unique"? (Well, I guess if the piano were actually part of the house, THAT would be unique! )

OP, how did you come up with that list? It's very, well, odd ...
