Modern houses typically include plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, along with roofing to prevent water damage. Security features like doors and locks protect occupants and belongings. Common rooms include bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. Some houses have a separate dining room or a recreation room.
