What Makes a Property Luxury? A Guide to Their Features
What Is Considered a ‘Luxury’ Property?
Many properties are described as being ‘luxury’, but what does it mean and what is considered a luxury property? Luxury properties have an abundance of features that most are unable to afford, or do not have readily available, which makes them very desirable and gives them high property values. These are different key features you can expect to find with luxury properties that aren’t found in average homes.
The Location
Property location is an important aspect of luxury properties. Luxurious locations have impressive views, a sense of seclusion and exclusivity. Popular locations for luxury homes include islands or coastal areas with breathtaking ocean views. Additionally, uninterrupted views are popular, higher in property values and more sought after. These prime seaside locations can also include access to private beaches. Luxury properties being secluded and away from public spaces help avoid unwanted noise, give privacy to homeowners and have access to exclusive views. Gated communities also allow homeowners to live amongst other luxury homes with higher security than typical neighbourhoods.
The Exterior
The first impression of a property is its exterior, luxury properties have stately exteriors that set them apart from regular housing. They are dramatically grand properties with beautifully landscaped gardens and naturally beautiful views. Floor-to-ceiling windows or doors wrapped around the exterior, give homeowners incredible natural lighting and help display more of the outdoor views. Luxury properties also often have private driveways and large accompanying garages to securely store vehicles. Luxury gardens can include water features and sculptural elements. Water features enhance landscaped gardens and make gardens serene spaces. Garden sculptures add further aesthetic appeal and artistic flair.
The Interior
Interiors of luxury properties are defined by their spacious living spaces, bespoke furniture, premium materials and high-tech appliances. They typically have open plan living spaces with high ceilings that make the interior feel spacious. The furnishing is high-end with premium materials throughout the properties such as natural stone and hard wood. High-tech appliances offer convenience, entertainment and security to luxury homeowners. Examples of these include electric blinds, smart appliances, air conditioning, underfloor heating, security systems and solar power energy. Rooms within luxury properties can include walk-in wardrobes, designer kitchens, spa-like bathrooms, bars and home offices.
The Amenities
Luxury properties always have access to numerous amenities that offer residents entertainment, relaxation and comfort. Whether these are on-property features that are immediately available to residents or off-property features nearby. On-property features can include heated or saltwater swimming pools, private gyms, tennis courts, saunas, home cinemas or fire pits. Off-property amenities can include golf courses, parks, health facilities, restaurants, theatres and community centres. Luxury properties have a wealth of available amenities and give homeowners the luxury of remaining at home or short travel to access them. Having these amenities offers great convenience for luxury property residents.
Conclusion
In conclusion, a property being considered ‘luxury’ is dictated by the property’s location, appearance, quality and amenities. Luxury homes offer privacy, exclusivity, beauty and convenience for their residents. Furthermore, the quality throughout these properties gives them higher property values and much higher prices than average homes. They offer features that are unavailable to most homeowners, which sets them apart from most homes. The luxury label is earnt through these exclusive features.
