Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered a luxury home?

Luxury homes are prime pieces of real estate that exude refinement and exclusivity. Offering privacy and ample living space, these upscale properties are usually custom-built using premium materials and boasting luxurious designs. A lavish home showcases not only interior elegance, but also exterior appeal and provides high-end amenities inside and out. What’s more, luxury homes also usually have a story or history attached to them — they were either built by a prominent architect or are situated in a prestigious location. Showcasing steep price tags, professional real estate guidelines typically place high-end properties in the top 5% or 10% of the local housing market. People who buy luxury homes are usually high-net-worth individuals.

What is the difference between a house and a mansion?

While a standard house entails typical floor plans and amenities, a mansion is an imposing, single family luxury home with opulent and extravagant details.

What qualifies a mansion as a mansion?

Boasting a higher-than-average number of square feet and excess bedrooms and bathrooms, a mansion is much more than a big house for sale. Rather, it comes with high-end finishes and top-of-the-line appliances, as well as energy-efficient systems and smart home features. Sitting on huge lots of land, luxury mansions also boast breathtaking landscaping and unique architectural details. The typical designs for these buildings include classical, colonial or Victorian styles. They also offer some of the finest amenities and can entertain large groups of people. For example, mansions usually include commercial-grade kitchens and multiple common areas and leisure spaces — such as great rooms; lounges; games and theater rooms; gyms; spa facilities; pools; tennis courts; gardens with water features; hiking trails; guest houses; and so on.

What is the difference between a house and a villa?

A villa is a luxury property typically located in the countryside or on the coast. While a standard house is a family’s primary living residence, a villa is used as a retreat or is rented out as a vacation home when not occupied. A villa is a refined luxury estate with an airy design, including rich amenities and providing seclusion. These luxe properties usually come with lovely outdoor landscaping and boast a patio/terrace, a front garden and a private pool. They are either single detached or semi-detached and are part of a gated community, typically within a resort.
