Live, Work and Play: The 3 Luxury Home Elements of Today’s Nature Coast Homes

We all have different ideas as to what constitutes the perfect home. Perhaps it’s an expansive waterfront estate on King’s Bay in Crystal River or overlooking the Homosassa River in Riverhaven. Maybe it’s a beautiful estate on the golf course in the exclusive Black Diamond Ranch community.

No matter where your home is located or how it’s decorated, it’s essential that it helps you to live, work and play at your very best. For those in search of building their next custom home, here’s how to make sure it will set you up to thrive in each way with these top 3 luxury home elements.

Live

First and foremost, shelter is one of our most basic needs which also plays an integral role in our daily lives. That’s why your Citrus County custom home should be designed to support every aspect of your day-to-day routine. Perhaps a gourmet kitchen where you can cook memorable meals for the family. Additionally, you might want to have a state-of-the-art home gym that supports a healthy lifestyle. It’s important to consider what makes a functional design when consulting your builder. Do you want an open layout where everyone can congregate or a traditional floor plan with more defined spaces? All great luxury home elements to evaluate and discuss when building your new dream home.

Work
It’s no secret that the home is serving double-duty as the office and the classroom for many people these days. As a result, requirements for certain luxury home elements have shifted for homebuyers. To ensure you have a space that supports productivity, take the time to identify your ideal setup. That might mean having a study room for the kids, as well as two thoughtfully designed home offices where both parents can work during the day.

Other details that may contribute to the perfect work environment may be things like internet speed, soundproof walls and natural light. To sum up, you want space for everyone to do their very best work from home. The workspace has become so essential with the spread of the Coronavirus. Because of the shift, many families are remodeling their homes to accommodate their new office spaces. Furthermore, some jobs have transitioned employees to full-time remote positions, making this space vital for many homeowners. The home office is now part of the top luxury home elements clients have on their lists.

Play
Now, for the fun part. At the end of the day, the home should cater to how you spend your free time. Consider lounging around a glistening pool overlooking a beautiful Crystal River sunset.

Perhaps you want to pull your boat into your private boat lift after a day of fishing on the Homosassa River. Maybe you want to build a home theater to spend time with the family watching movies. Luxury home elements are about having the right features for your hobbies. Finally, access to nearby amenities, like outdoor recreation areas, fine dining and cultural institutions, are also important considerations to take into account.
