When we talk about luxury homes, what comes to mind? Luxury, magnificence, grandeur and, of course, expensive. Owning a luxury home isn’t just a status symbol, it’s about enjoying the comforts of life you could imagine in your own space called home. Often the term “Luxury Homes” in India is used to entice people to buy projects which are of course not that luxurious. Offering more than the basic amenities does not fall under the term luxury. Luxury homes have many special features that set them apart from other properties. So before you fall into the trap of real estate agents, suggest that you research some of the top features that speak volumes about luxury and luxurious homes.

SPACE

This is the first thing that defines a luxury home. For a home property to be considered luxurious, it must be at least 3BHK with attached bathrooms and balconies. A lot of space is required to accommodate the luxurious comforts of life. Therefore, a large living room, a luxurious dining room and a spacious kitchen form an integral part of the definition of a luxury property. Don’t forget to look for a service room attached to the residential unit you want to add as a luxury property to your status.

LOCATION IS THE KEY

Believe it or not, location plays a huge role in defining how luxurious your property is. Look for a location that has good connectivity, is marked as safe, is a riot and crime free zone, has excellent infrastructure around the property in terms of wider streets, less traffic, more greenery, very clean, etc.

FLOOR TO CEILING HEIGHT

Lavish homes are also all about beautiful ceilings and fixtures. In order for the ceiling to hold luxurious chandeliers and lights, the floor to ceiling height must be higher to accommodate the luxuries. For a home to be considered luxurious, it must meet the standard floor-to-ceiling height, meaning 12 feet or more. Agree or disagree, if this criteria is not met, then your property is not included in the luxury label.

ELEVATOR

Large and spacious elevators with good load capacity are an added feature of a luxury property.

HIGH SECURITY IN YOUR PROPERTY

In today’s not so secure and unstable environment, one should consider making their home as safe and secure as possible. See if the property offers modern enhanced integrated security facilities pre-installed in the house. The house must also be manned by 24-hour human guards with cameras and other surveillance units installed in every corner of the property for added security.

The points mentioned above are some of the key features of a luxury home. So, the next time you’re shopping for a luxury home, keep these features in mind so the agent clearly doesn’t mislead you into buying a mediocre property in the name of luxury amenities.
