5 Must-Have Features of a Modern Luxury Dream Home

In an ever-changing real estate market, luxury homes are often defined by location, size, and features that enhance convenience and comfort. Whether shopping for a high-end property or designing a dream home from the ground up, buyers tend to focus on qualities like:

  • Build quality. Construction materials, appliances, finishes, and design elements must exceed expectations. Hardwood, marble, crystal, and high-end kitchens are all common in luxury homes.
  • Privacy. Many luxury home buyers, especially celebrities, want a sanctuary. Privacy is a premium feature, and it’s easily gained with high walls, large yards, dense foliage, and gated entries.
