Luxury Lifestyles

Luxury homes combine size and style into a single design, creatively showcasing the wants and needs synonymous with an affluent lifestyle. When it comes to luxury living, a home is not merely a place to live; but more a reflection of one’s interests, personality, values and style.  Exquisite estates are defined by distinctive, posh parameters that place these grandiose properties – and their privileged occupants – in a class all their own. Specific considerations include:

Location:

Beautiful homes can be built anywhere but in luxury real estate the industry mantra location, location, location is especially true. Well-heeled buyers flock to high-end, sought after urban settings and tony suburbs that boast the best educational systems, prime cultural access, picturesque communities, low crime rates and enviable demographics.

Size:

Exclusive properties offer ample space for homeowners to comfortably raise a family, entertain multiple guests and pursue hobbies in an elegant setting that provides ample privacy and prestige. Surrounded by abundant acreage and equally well-groomed homes, high-end homeowners not only enjoy the lap of luxury in their private oasis, but inherit the lofty status that comes with a distinctive address.

Aesthetics:

The size of an upscale listing does not guarantee that a home will be considered extravagant – the real differentiators in the prestige space are quality of materials, craftsmanship and architectural design. Outfitted with the finest marble, granite, imported tile, distinctive flooring, molding and modern conveniences – a fine home will be elevated to a luxury estate. Thoughtful design, manicured landscaping, extravagant finishes, an abundance of natural light, lavish bathrooms, state-of-the art-appliances and impeccable finishes will all accentuate a home’s good bones and attract the most discerning buyers.

Unique features:

If home is where the heart is – play to buyers’ desires. Affluent homeowners have specific tastes and lifestyle objectives. Wine lovers and food aficionados will be drawn to estates with expansive wine cellars and state of the art kitchens.  Movie fanatics may seek innovative home theaters.  Active families often look for amenities such as home gyms, dance studios, teen suites, tennis courts, pools and basketball courts to keep the kids safe and healthy - and parents sane.  

Luxury real estate provides an exclusive opportunity for discerning buyers to embrace their affluent lifestyle and celebrate their unique tastes at home while simultaneously impressing visitors and future buying prospects.  A savvy, accomplished real estate broker knows the luxury niche and the wealthy prospects that aspire to dwell in such prestige settings – and successfully brings prospect and properties together.
