Peak luxury in a property

[NatMoz]

What would you consider 'luxury' that you would love to have in your house?

For me it would be a seating area in the house where there is no TV. It is purely for chatting/reading. A TV room would be in addition to rather than instead of.

Also a walk in pantry😍

I suppose you could be ridiculous in this thread and say helipad but a bit pointless if you don't have a helicopter in the first place!!

What would you love to have in your home?

A dumb waiter

Stables!

I too would like a library. And something that blocks outside noise (loud garden parties and heavy traffic).

And if I was stupidly rich, a planetarium.

I do have a utility room, an en suite and an unoverlooked garden if anyone wants to swap.

Utility room. Large en suite. Make it all self cleaning

Proper big walk in wardrobe.

walk in shower with his and her sink in the master’s suite

gym and pool

I lived in an 1860 terrace. The previous owners plumbed in a loo and sink under the stairs, with a sliding door. Tiny but perfect.

Ooh yes. With a fountain that you drive around

I dated a man who turned an old barn in the foothills of California into an elegant home.
He had a wet bar in his master bedroom. It seemed so odd at first because I’d never seen anything like it, but I got used to it very quickly!
He also had a wonderful stereo system and had speakers about 6 feet apart in the walls all over the house. I don’t think I’ve ever heard music so beautiful.

I got myself a library a few years ago. The house had a second reception room that previous owners had used as TV room. Initially moved the old Billy bookcases in there, then eventually replaced them with custom made bookshelves. All to my measurements, so one corner only has 6 shelves to house the taller non-fiction, the rest has 7 shelves. Tripled my shelf space. It is beautiful.

We used to own a detached house which cost less than our UK 3 bed bog standard semi with one parking space. It had the following:

Double integral garage with remote doors. Proper big enough to drive a pick up truck and a 7 seater in together with loads of storage space for tools, workbench and room for DC to chase each other around the cars.

A kitchen with an island and a walk in pantry.

Central vac system as described by a PP. No carting a hoover around.

Heating/air con system that blows air out of a grate so no radiators. Lovely and warm in winter, cool air in summer.

Central water softener and filter.

Massive entry hallway with cupboards each side for coats and shoes.

His and hers sinks in en-suite with two person shower.

Walk in wardrobes in every room. Ours was the size of smallest bedroom of the house we had in the UK.

A full basement with windows and underfloor heating. A reception room half the size of the footprint of the house together with a playroom/library, gym room, shower room, and a laundry room.

A furnace room where we could put clothes not suitable for the tumbler on a drying rack. Again the size of a small bedroom.

Half an acre of land.

That was a pretty typical house in the area where we were (a town an hour outside a city in Canada). I honestly want to cry that we came back! I want that house back <wails>.

Utility room. And REALLY luxurious... a big bathroom with sauna, ideally next to a little space that could be a yoga room.

I don't need or want a big house.
Its not in the house..but I'd love a massive garden. A walled garden for veggies. An area for a small orchard. A wildflower meadow. And then a perfectly manicured lawn. In my dreams 😂😑

That could work but we have it as a pantry….. not sure which I’d rather have? And the entrance to would be right off the kitchen too which I don’t think is allowed?

Oh would love the en suite to be like one of the luxury hotel suite ones — huge space with two vanities (not just two sinks), freestanding bathtub, separate walk in shower, and toilet in its own closed off cubicle

This sounds so lovely. I'd like to convert our garage to a garden library - one day, hopefully!

We did this to our 1850's terrace last summer - the cost was obscene but a downstairs loo does feel like luxury.

2 dishwashers for sure

A walk in pantry
A laundry chute
A big island in the kitchen
South facing garden

@sweetpickle2 I’m so intrigued by having 2 dishwashers! I‘ve never had one, hope to have one in future, but what’s the benefit to two? Are they too small to fit a larger family’s pots?

A stables and a riding arena with lights

A laundry room (my brother in the US has one in his basement, and its amazing - washer, dryer, ironing setup thingy, drying racks, long counter for folding, sink). All that stuff in one place and away from the kitchen makes so much sense!

And a library with a reading chair.

We have two dishwashers. In theory there is always space to put something in so it never sits around waiting on the worktop. In reality it just means one is always effectively an extra cupboard and we still end up unloading both at the same
time when we’ve run out of space.
