The moment we hear the term ‘luxury apartment’ what comes into our mind are the opulent amenities that such a property would house. Luxuries including a personal swimming pool, fitness centre, home theatre, and impressive garden are the basics that a home buyer looks for when searching for a luxury apartment in India. But, still there are different definitions to a luxury home when it comes to features.

PropGuide simplifies this and list nine key features that a luxury property should have.

Where art thou?

The most striking feature of a luxury property is its location. No matter how well the property is equipped inside, the address of the property is the first thing that makes it a luxury property. Centrally located or overlooking a beach with an expansive estate, the location in both the cases would be the first selling point.

Find here first

The latest feature that defines a home as luxury is technology. A technologically sound home includes home automation, latest appliances, burglar and fire alarm systems, among others. These features that make life easy with a touch of a button and come with a price, attract new-age home buyers.

Sprawling green

A home which comes with plush green lawns is a rarity, thus, termed as one of the features of a luxury home. These gardens could be transformed with different flowers and trees and even create gazebos, outhouse, or an outdoor leisure space.

Cook in style

Kitchen is the heart of a home. Designed with opulent flooring, wall tiles and modular equipment, coupled with latest gadgets and appliances, makes for a perfect luxury kitchen. Such kitchen houses electric wall ovens, dishwasher, latest appliances and spread-out walk-in pantry. And, to add to it, a kitchen that opens to the outdoors is a plus. Who wouldn’t love a cozy outdoor kitchen to host some outdoor barbecues and open air dinner parties.

Deep in luxury

Large swimming pool have always topped the list of a luxury home buyers. A well-maintained and expansive pool that ensures privacy is a must in a luxury property.

Entertainment @home

An entertainment zone that is equipped with a home theatre and a personal gaming zone is the new addition to a luxury home. The latest-in-the-market gadgets are a must have for the young and old alike. The main purpose behind this feature is to create a space where a home buyer never feels the necessity to leave the luxuries of the home.

Fitness first

Most of the luxury properties come equipped with a personal gym. The wealthy would prefer to sweat out at the comforts of their home rather than in other gyms where they would have to share machines. Luxury homes have a separate room that comprises of all the required machines and weights and have a television, wireless speakers and other gadgets in place that lets the owners gym in style.

Up high

A personal elevator that open to the foyer of an opulent home is one of the most popular features of a luxury property. Elevators are now a must have in all kind of luxury properties, an apartment, a penthouse or a mansion.

It can also include all the hi-tech features with built-in automation systems. An extension to a master bedroom is a walk-in closet that lets you display all your expensive designer clothes, shoes and accessories. These closets are well-equipped with ample lighting, ceiling-to-floor mirrors, and best-in-class wooden wardrobes.
