What Features & Amenities Add True "Living Value" To A Home?

April 12, 2022 by Jeremy Lindy

There are many reasons why you may purchase a home. Most often, these are defined by the location of the property itself. For instance, some people may wish to pay top dollar to ensure that their home is situated further away from others, which is why so many people enter their maturing years with a dream of escaping into the countryside and living in a rural property.

For some, it’s the small amenities and features that make the most difference, such as having a wide-open and large driveway space perfect for parking a range of vehicles, which can be important if your children are starting to mature and enter their late teenage years.

Ultimately, this list is subjective. But it is worth considering exactly what features and amenities can add true living worth to a home. For instance, living near the waterfront with Adirondack Premier Properties will be looked on with absolute preferential regard. It’s no wonder why people look to stretch their budgets and plan their living forecast a little differently when approached with such worth.

In this post, we’ll discuss how to achieve this more readily:

Waterfront Access

Waterfront access is so prized because there are only so many properties that can provide this in a given location. Of course, being in proximity to the water is an amazing addition, but being right there against the lake or close to the beach can provide its own worth and value, and often a sense of privacy, too. From cultivating your own boat to having premier access to the best tourist spots before the tourists even arrive, waterfront access can be a dream for many, not to mention just how picturesque that dream will be.

Pools & Social Areas

A pre-arranged and well-designed social outdoor area can be a great reason to stretch your budget a little, especially when considering the worth of the summertime, having fun with friends and family. Pools do require maintenance, but can add real value to a home, may look beautiful depending on how they’re arranged, and also provide a sense of wellbeing to an otherwise urbanized space. There’s a reason properties that offer them are highly sought-after. 

Integrated Appliances & Tech

Integrated technology (which is becoming more and more of a mainstay in modern house design), can offer convenience like nothing else. From excellent home security and CCTV system that deters trespassers and ensures you feel safer in your home, all the way up to room-by-room speaker systems or smart appliances like home assistants provided by major services, many homes integrate tech cleanly without bulky appliances or overbearing design clashes are considered to be a great means of updating the modern property.

For some, this can be as simple as a remote-controlled television cabinet that opens cleanly in the bedroom, to something as simple as underfloor heating you can automate and turn on in the early mornings.

With this advice, you’ll no doubt be able to define your own features and amenities to look for when house hunting yourself.
