Tricia Smith of New York has been announced as this year’s grand prize winner of a fully furnished new home in South Carolina.
HGTV ‘Dream Home 2025’ is going to a first-time home owner.
Tricia Smith of The Bronx, New York City, is this year’s grand prize winner of the network’s annual sweepstakes, which includes a fully furnished brand-new home designed by HGTV’s Brian Patrick Flynn in an idyllic neighborhood in Bluffton, S.C., People magazine reported.
With the help of a friend, HGTV presented the 48-year-old special education teacher with the prize during a special surprise. For the setup, her friend tricked her into thinking they were stopping by a pop-up art gallery before dinner, but when they got to the venue, Flynn was there along with a camera crew, and pictures of her soon-to-be home were framed and hung up all over the walls.
“No, you’re kidding. Is this a joke? Are you serious?” Smith said as it became clear she was the winner in a video exclusively released through People.
Smith, originally from Antigua, was brought to tears and shared that this is the first time she’s ever owned a home.
“This would be the first time I’m owning a home,” she noted. “And it’s a hell of a starter home.”
The home boasts 3,000 square feet, three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, massive windows, sweeping views, and an open floor plan, all awashed in coastal pastels. Other luxury amenities include a state-of-the-art eat-in kitchen with a prep kitchen, a roaring fireplace in the living room, a fully equipped pet washing station, a pool, an outdoor kitchen, and close proximity to Hilton Head Island.
According to an HGTV release, Smith’s prize also includes $100,000, a new 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC, and a five-year supply of Viva paper towels, bringing the total value, including the house, to roughly $2.2 million.
