Luxury homes come in all shapes and sizes
Each CT luxury waterfront home for sale is as
customized and different as its owners.
They vary in features, location, sizes, and
style. It could be a 10-acre beach property on Westport, or a 5-acre riverfront
property in New Hartford. It could be a 4-bedroom country home or a 7-bedroom
English Cotswold manor.
One thing is sure. Whatever features and
amenities each home displays easily matches that of a top-notch resort or
five-star hotel. And clients recognize it on sight.
The trending features buyers want
What are these features that make a
waterfront property opulent?
Here are the six must-have amenities you can find in luxury waterfront mansions in Connecticut.
1. Exceptional views
One of the best-identifying features of a
high-end real estate property is its views. The views alone can make a huge
difference to the property’s purchase price.
Expect luxury homes in Connecticut to deliver
breathtaking views of any kind of waterfront or of the verdant land.
Known for its picturesque views and stunning
vistas, Connecticut offers serene natural settings all throughout the year. It can’t
get any better than that.
2. Fully-automated homes
All home-buyers expect some sort of
automation from the home they’ll buy. This is to be expected. After all, we are
in the gadget generation, and home automation is one of the things we have
easily incorporated into our lives.
But luxury homes take automation to the next
level. Expert a high end coastal real estate to be fully automated - security,
lighting controls, temperature controls, entertainment and sounds management -
everything is controlled by a touch on the system or on the phone or through
voice recognition.
3. Gourmet Kitchen
The heart of the home, the kitchen used to be
a room to cook and prepare meals. Today, it is part of the entertaining space,
so expect luxury waterfront homes to have spacious kitchens that can easily
accommodate a group of people.
Granite, Carrara marble, Brazilian Blue
Stone, and other semi-precious stones combined with quartz are among the most
common countertops in these fancy homes.
Though homeowners rarely cook, ultra luxury
kitchens feature top of the line kitchen appliances, a wine fridge or cellar,
warming drawers, and a walk-in pantry - everything that a chef needs to prepare
for parties and catering. Some homes will even have multiple dishwashers,
cappuccino-makers so you can make your favorite drink anytime, and wine pouring
devices.
4. Spa bathrooms
What spells opulence better than a spa-resort
bathroom? Million dollar waterfront homes offer the experience of enjoying a
luxurious bath every day.
Heated flooring, steam shower, rain shower
head, double vanities, and jacuzzi tubs are all amenities that will make bath
time a relaxing, pampering experience.
5. Entertainment rooms and private gyms
Convenience right at your doorstep, that’s
what luxury homes offer.
Why go to the trouble of driving to the
movies when you can enjoy it at home? Or why waste time driving to the gym when
you can hire a personal trainer and workout in your private gym?
Private screening rooms are among the
sought-after features of high-end homes, where the rich can enjoy an escape
from reality in their comfortable seats and deluxe sound system. It’s not just
for you. It’s for your guests as well, those who are seeking some time-out from
their incredibly busy lives.
Private gyms are also among the in-demand
features because of the convenience and time efficiency it offers.
Some properties have indoor basketball
courts, others have indoor pools, and still some have swanky bars, all designed
for entertaining.
6. Indoor - outdoor living
When it comes to indoor-outdoor living,
expect all expensive coastal homes to feature indoor spaces that can easily
transition to outdoor retreats with just a slide of a glass door or wall.
Be it an outdoor kitchen, an outdoor living
room or a cabana, such spaces provide an escape from the confines of the home
and offer the best views while relaxing or entertaining.
From fire pits, koi pounds, to infinity pools
and spacious paver patios with tastefully selected outdoor chairs, all these
outdoor spaces add warmth and lend luxury homes an elegant yet cozy appeal.
