Any recommendations on future proofing the house?

ETA: or just link another thread. I’m sure this has been discussed often.

2 Cat6 drops to each bedroom and common areas where you expect to have TVs....route all to common closet/space for all IT equipment to be stored...use patch panel if you want it nice and pretty...

The future is wireless mesh networks, not wired connections. Unless your house is divided up by concrete partitions I would just focus on making sure that wherever your main router will reside is wired in a manner that allows for easy upgrades to future Ethernet / fiber optic cable runs from your provider.

Move this threat to the OT, so I can recommend 440V 3-phase for your mom's giant vibrators.

Cat 6/7 and I’d put a good HDTV antenna in the attic and drop coax cables into rooms for free HDTV local channels
