LUXURY LIVING ON THE ISLAND
INTRODUCTION
The owner of Rolex was asked: “How is the watch business?” He replied, “I would not know because I’m in the luxury business.
The concept of luxury can be traced back to the dawn of society where the leading classes used symbols and objects to set them apart from the rest of society. Which is also what defines luxury today.
To live in luxury is to live in a state of great comfort and while the idea of living luxuriously may appear extravagant, it is interesting to note that the definition of comfort or extravagance changes with one’s personal economic situation.
When you go through real estate listings and find the phrase ‘luxury home’ used, here are some of the features of the property:
SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY
Smart home technology is one of the features associated with a luxurious home. There is an increasing demand for smart home technologies for access control, entertainment, automated gardening systems and security.
Modern technologies are being adopted to monitor and manage systems within and outside the home.
PRIME LOCATION.
Luxury homes are always located at most prestigious or coveted locations. They are also quite high priced.
HIGH CLASS AMENITIES AND QUALITY FURNITURE/INTERIOR.
Most exquisite amenities can be found inside a luxury home. Everything including appliances, finishes, furniture and décor are of the finest quality as far as a luxury home is concerned.
Other features of a luxury home are: spa quality bathrooms, huge walk-in closets, swimming pools, spectacular outdoor living space, gardens, large kitchens and so on.
SERVICES
One of the major features of luxury apartments is the kind of services provided.
In Nigeria where power supply is erratic, 24-hours power is a thing of luxury and is one of the mainstay features in a luxury listing. Uniformed security, cleaning and gardening, fumigation, car wash, kids park/play area, swimming pools, gyms and sports courts are included.
