Buying a Luxury Home In Charlotte? Here are some neighborhoods and features to consider when searching for a fine home for sale.
The U.S. real estate market in the south has a lot to offer buyers right now. So if you’ve been waiting to become a move-up buyer or first-time homeowner, this season remains the best time to buy a luxury home in Charlotte, NC! And since no two luxury homes are alike, here’s a look at some of the hottest trends for you to consider when buying or building a luxury home in Charlotte:
Ranch Layout
The average luxury home ranges from 5,000 – 7,000 square feet; and many of these homes are single level, rather than multi-story because of the ability to add in vaulted ceilings, an open floor plan, and a sunporch or deck for entertaining, to make for a truly elegant living space with customized features in every room.
Multi-car Garage
Many luxury homes for sale in Charlotte feature as many as 5-car garages for your prized possessions.
Chef’s Kitchen
Home buyers want top-of-the-line appliances with smart technology and lots of ample storage solutions, and customized countertops and cabinetry.
Home Automation
Adjustable lighting, voice activated alarm systems, and programmable thermostats are just some of the options most requested for home automation features in a luxury home.
Spacious Walk-in Closets
Master bedrooms have one or more large walk-in closets, many with an island.
Upscale Master Bathrooms
From garden baths to steam showers, claw-barted tubs, and even bidets, bathrooms in luxury homes are elegant, classy, and focused on your optimal comfort in mind.
Indoor or Outdoor Sports Courts
The addition of an enclosed area for playing sports and other recreational activities has become popular for things like indoor or outdoor basketball or tennis, a pool, or even as a fitness or game room.
Picturesque View
If you are buying a luxury home anywhere throughout North Carolina, you can take advantage of a waterfront view or hilly backdrop, depending on your style.
Mixed-Metal Fixtures
Doorknobs, handles, faucets, and lighting fixtures are all decked out with a variety of finishes that complement each other for an interesting mix throughout the home. The most popular finishes include bronze, brushed nickel, chrome, or antique brass.
Disappearing or Collapsible Window Walls
In luxury homes, the layout flow is generally open, and having the least amount of barriers between your indoor and outdoor living spaces has become increasingly popular. By using bi-folding or moving glass wall systems and doors, you don’t have to sacrifice the panoramic view.
