7 Must-Have features of a luxury property

Properties must meet several criteria to be considered luxurious, the price being only a reflection of the multiple amenities, not a criterion itself. They must be unique, exclusive and located in very good areas, so that potential buyers would pay a considerable higher price than the average. The buyer segment interested in this type of houses wants to have facilities such as generous spaces for relaxation and socialization (a large yard or terrace), swimming pool, fitness room or SPA area, customized architecture and design, easy access to shopping malls, restaurants or leisure clubs, as well as the proximity of other luxurious properties.

What makes a property a luxurious one?

  1. Personality

A house with personality – whether it is the architecture, the interior design or the furniture, special attention to details and refined finishes – must have that “touch” of originality that produces the chemistry between the potential buyer and the property.

 

      2. “Location, location, location”

The location is the cornerstone of a luxury property. Regardless of the facilities that a property benefits of, the area in which it is built is the most important criterion that a buyer takes into consideration when choosing a property. Most people prefer to live in a prestigious area, but in the same time they are looking for an oasis of peace, comfort, safety and privacy, a place that allows them to relax and enjoy the comfort of their home.

     

     3. Technology

We are all attracted to technological innovations and we want to benefit from them. More and more buyers are looking for smart homes and developers need to keep up with this trend. Those who offer this type of amenities remain on the top of the real estate market. By simply pressing a key on the smart phone, one can control the access in the property, the temperature in each room, the lights or shades for each room, the audio system or the alarm system, etc. These are the features that the most demanding buyers of luxury homes are looking for today.

     4. Swimming pool

A pool of considerable size, generous areas of relaxation and socialization are on the buyer’s priority list. Often, the leisure space moves outside, and the houses with such facilities are in the top of their preferences.

    

     5. SPA area

A luxurious lifestyle requires a SPA area at high standards. These types of buyers travel a lot and enjoy the most elegant hotels and SPAs in the world. So, they want to enjoy similar relaxation in their own home.

   

      6. Fitness room

Why go to a crowded fitness room when you can afford your own space to exercise in the privacy of your home? What should it include? Obviously, plenty of space for equipment, audio system, LCD screens and, of course, a sauna for post-workout relaxation.

      7. Dressing room

An extension of an opulent bedroom is the dressing room. For women, in particular, it is a priority to have a generous space for their clothes and shoes. Lately, the dressing room became a must and both women and men want to have a separate room to dress. The dressing room should be spacious, with lined walls, many shelves and compartments for accessories, as well as lots of mirrors and lights.
