Southlake Real Estate Blog

From posh in-home spas to 5-star rated gourmet kitchens, today’s Southlake and Colleyville luxury home buyers are searching for all the creature comforts normally associated with a luxurious five diamond hotel. Now add these amenities normally found inside a luxury home and place them outside in outdoor living spaces and you have the total package. Other conveniences and features like in-home elevators, ultra-comfortable home theaters and a pristine multi-car garage and you’re closer to the amenities a luxury home buyer desires in their abode.

The Top Ten Must-have Amenities and Features for the Discerning Southlake Luxury Home Buyer

Sharon’s list of favorite luxury home amenities includes:

• Hobby spaces – With more free-time for hobbies, today’s more mature Southlake luxury buyers are quickly approaching their retirement years. Having convenient access to multiple specialty rooms to accommodate each spouses’ hobby is a must. These rooms should be outfitted with the tools and space required for today’s active mature luxury homeowner. From rooms dedicated to stamp and coin collecting to scrap booking and woodworking, these rooms should be secure, organized and tailored to provide an outlet for the creative needs of the luxury homeowner.

• High-tech homes – Today’s Southlake luxury home buyer seeks every available technology “bell and whistle” including pre-wired security systems and remote wireless access to control audio, video and lighting. Other high-tech features include multiple settings for entertainment as well as commercial-grade, high-speed 24/7 Internet connectivity. Given our chance for an occasional ice storm, pre-wired backup generators are in high demand as well.

• Pampered autos – Today’s successful Colleyville or Southlake corporate executive and luxury home buyer typically has a stable of collector autos in tow. For the most avid of car connoisseurs, especially those living on confined lots, having the amenities needed to maintain and detail a fleet of expensive cars can be a challenge. Preferred amenities include indoor lifts, bays devoted to an indoor car wash along with storage for onsite maintenance are no longer extravagant to the luxury homeowner. No doubt, these luxury home buyers spare no expense for their collection of priceless vehicles.

• Ultra-gourmet kitchens – Professional-grade kitchens are another must-have feature. Luxury buyers desire their kitchen to be loaded with commercial quality walk-in refrigerators, multiple dishwashers and stoves one would expect to find in a five-star restaurant. What with the growing popularity of home entertaining, these appliances are no longer options but are the norm for in-home chefs and even the novice gourmet cook in the family.

• Wine cellars and tasting rooms – Many of today’s Southlake luxury home buyers are also connoisseurs of fine wines. The vast majority of Southlake luxury homes come equipped with a climate-controlled wine cellar. Adjacent tasting rooms equipped with sinks and buckets for wine sampling are also in high demand as well.
