What You Should Look For in a Denver Luxury Home

July 30, 2015 By Mark Hunke

Whether you are purchasing your first executive home or you want to upgrade to something even more luxurious, you should make sure you get what you pay for. Here, you will discover some tips and tricks for making sure that your home will suit your needs, your wants, and your style.

SuburbsDiscover the Layout

Many of the luxury homes in Denver are large, sprawling estates, and even if you can find a photo listing, chances are good that this listing does not show you everything you want to see. One of the best ways to make sure that a home provides the layout, landscape, and outside features you want is to look it up the address on Google Earth. Be aware that things can change quickly, so what you see is not always what you get. However, for the most part, you can get a feel for the layout of the home, whether it is situated on a hill, and even whether it has the pool you have always wanted.

Check Out the Technologies

Since you are looking for an actual luxury home, it is important to pay attention to the actual luxuries you will buy. In fact, you should get cutting-edge technologies such as a complete automated control system. This allows you to control nearly anything imaginable, from the brightness of the lights to the position of the blinds and even the temperature in various rooms of the home. Up-to-date appliances, including televisions, washers and dryers, and even things like ovens and refrigerators are important, too. After all, upgrading is time consuming and expensive, and you will want a home that is move-in ready.

Don’t Forget the Bathroom

When it comes to executive homes, bathrooms are more than toilets and showers. They are complete resorts, filled with unique and imaginative technologies you can imagine. Things to consider include huge bathtubs with high-powered jets reminiscent of a hot tub that can even send sound along through the waves of water, and showers that can reproduce the effects of falling rain. Special lighting and temperature controls are also quite innovative; many of today’s high-end tubs and showers provide them.

All the Room You Need

Finally, you should be certain that you will have all of the space you need for your family and your lifestyle. Some luxury homes contain three or four bedrooms; others may offer as many as nine or 10. Decide whether you want to add a studio, a library, or even a home gym – or perhaps even all three – and then decide how large your home should be. Buying a home with one or two more rooms than you think you need actually future-proofs your purchase, too. You will be free to expand as necessary without having to add on or find a new home.

Buying a luxury home may seem like a daunting task at first, but when you know what to look for, it is actually simple. Tell your real estate agent what you need and want, and let him or her help you discover the best properties on the market.
