8 must-have design features for your new Luxury Homes

 

Today, there are homes that are categorized as luxury homes. These properties are not necessarily mansions, but they offer owners the utmost luxury living experience. Thinking about building a new luxury home? Make the most of this precious opportunity and include some of these popular Parkvuehomes design features.

 

 

1. Top-notch Kitchens

Most modern kitchens integrate functions, luxury, and style. Now is the time to transform basic granite into the most dazzling gourmet kitchens. Bold textures, rich hues and exotic materials – these are some of the qualities that make kitchens one of the most luxurious corners of modern luxury homes. In addition, spacious kitchens are timeless. They make whipping up culinary creations fun and easy, even if there is more than one cook.

 

2. Butler’s pantry

A butler’s pantry has been a trend for a while – for good reason. Unlike the dated walk-in wardrobe, a butler’s pantry is an economical use of space and saves you from a lifetime of annoyance caused by fumbling haplessly around dark and difficult cupboard spaces.

 

3. Excellent alfresco design

The desire to create the indoor / outdoor lifestyle is one of the main motivations for designing and building a new home. So, an under covered alfresco area adjoining the main living area should be one of the main design focuses for your new house. What’s more, these outdoor dining areas make the most of precious space on our blocks and bring us closer to nature. What’s not to love?

 

4. Solar panelling

You’re not spending money – you’re saving money! That statement may not be true if you’re making an impulse sale purchase, but when it comes to solar panelling, that’s what you’ll be doing. Solar panelling is one seriously savvy way of reducing energy bills, so if you’re building a house from scratch sometime soon, this is a must-have. And remember, you’ll also be reducing your carbon footprint.

 

5. Dimmer switches

Another energy-saving idea, light dimmers give you the freedom and flexibility to easily change the mood of your home with the flick of a switch.

 

6. Fireplace

A fireplace can add an immeasurable amount of character to a home. Situated in the right spot, it can create wonderful architectural detail. Wood is certainly an efficient heat source to consider in winter.

 

 

7. Self-closing cabinet drawers

No one likes the look of cupboard doors hanging open, so include self-closing cabinet drawers for a little touch of luxury – and a lifetime of neater-looking cupboards.

 

8. A large garage

Not many of us get sick of a double garage. Obviously, you can keep your cars safe off the road, but if there comes a time when you’re no longer a two-car family, there’s always something to store in a two-car garage. Think boats, bikes, canoes, musical equipment – or possibly even a moody teenager!

WHY A KNOCK DOWN REBUILD IS THE BEST WAY TO GET YOUR DREAM HOME

Image
  When you’re on the hunt for your dream home, buying or renovating often seem like the only options. But, whether you’re just embarking on your home journey or you’re a seasoned owner, it’s worth thinking outside the box to get what you want. A Knock Down Rebuild Home Builders is currently an under-the-radar option, but it’s growing in popularity – especially with those who love their location but not their home. 1.        Cost comparative Budget and cost are, most likely, always going to be at the top of your list of concerns when considering a new home or renovating. Renovations and re-clads can often cost as much as building new but come without the benefits of a new modern home. Renovations are also associated with financial uncertainty. Unforeseen problems such as leaky pipes, dodgy foundations or undetected asbestos can turn a renovation into a costly nightmare. Construction aside, moving home means you’ll have to pay stamp duty. One of the big benefits of a knockdown reb

Planning on Subdivision of Land? You need to read this

Image
  If you are buying or selling a large parcel of land, consider whether or not subdividing the land can help you maximize your real estate resources. Here are a few considerations for landowners, or those seeking to buy land, who are thinking about subdividing:   Get intimately acquainted with your zoning laws. The first step towards subdividing a property is to understand the zoning requirements that apply to your site. In addition to the Residential Design Codes of Western Australia, most land in Australia is subject to the individual policies of local councils. These set out standards such as minimum lot sizes, and are therefore critical in determining the scope and subdivision potential of your property. Other factors that can influence whether you are allowed to subdivide your block include any state planning policies, local planning policies, the shape of the block and whether or not an existing home is going to remain or be removed in order to subdivide the land.

Renovating Your Existing Home vs. Looking for a New Home Builder

Image
Wondering whether to knock down and rebuild or renovate your existing home?  We at Parkvuehones often get asked by homeowners whether we think they should renovate their existing home or build new. The answer, of course, depends on your unique situation, your financial goals and future plans. The important thing is to consider what each path offers.  You should start by considering the home’s intended use. What sort of living areas do you need to fit your lifestyle? How much room do you need? If you have specific ideas, now is the time to bring them out. Once you have the answers to these questions, dig into the structural soundness and health of the foundation as much as you can. If the foundation is cracked or the frame of the house is compromised, there is little use in spending a lot on renovations. Depending on the type and amount of damage, you may find demolishing the existing house and rebuilding to be a better choice.  After every angle has been taken into considerati
