Luxury Home Features Home Buyers Want

October 29, 2019 by Jeremy Lindy in Open House

The market for luxury homes has grown increasingly competitive. Today, luxury home buyers aren’t just interested in large plots of land and stately architecture. They also want unique amenities that improve quality of life and give a home added extravagance. To set your home apart from the rest and increase its value, consider installing these luxury home features—they’re sure to improve your sales pitch.

Home theater

Home theaters are a luxury living staple. They let homeowners enjoy an authentic movie theater experience from the comfort of their home so that they don’t have to make a trip to the movie theater. To create a home movie theater, you’ll need plush seats, sizable screens, and an impressive surround-sound system.

Spa bathroom

A home should be a haven—a place to relax and unwind. To create a sumptuous and tranquil space that melts away the stress of a long day, consider installing a spa bathroom. The amenities in the spa bathroom should mimic those of a luxury spa. Consider adding walk-in showers, heated floors, towel warmers, and a large Jacuzzi.

Pool

Whether it’s located outdoors or inside, a pool is a classic amenity that evokes a sense of luxury. For an added element of indulgence, consider implementing features such as a slide, a diving board, a waterfall, or a hot tub area.

Exercise room

Luxury homes are all about convenience. A fitness room with different types of equipment will attract home buyers who don’t want to waste time driving to the gym. It’s also ideal for people who don’t like working out in front of others.

Dressing room

Dressing rooms take walk-in closets to the next level. People who take pride in their wardrobes covet these spacious dressing areas. A dressing room also serves as a place to display high-end purchases. Such rooms often include display racks, shelving, mirrors, and hooks for purses and ties.
