Strangely enough, the home I bought in 2022, which was new construction, has gas stove and water heater, but no gas in the laundry room. (I'm sure I can have it run relatively inexpensively if I chose)
Is the laundry room and the gas stove on the same level? I was told when I (illegally) hooked up a gas stove that building code didn't allow running a gas line between two levels of the house.
Not strangely, it is regional preference. Go to Lowes or HD and see what housewife in that area prefer; there will be 20 models of one kind and 2 of other kind.
