Whether it is a private villa or a modern penthouse skyscraper, there are many types of luxury homes that are sure to impress. The unifying key to luxury is having amenities and features that make the owner feel pampered and spoiled in their own home. There is no need to go on vacation or stay in a hotel when you are lucky enough to live in a well appointed and decadent residence. What are some common features of luxury homes that are found in these high end abodes? \u00a0Here are 5 must haves for luxury homes if you want to be in the know, and how the private beachfront residences at Garza Blanca in Puerto Vallarta deliver on these coveted features and so much more. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Open Floor Plans<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most popular features of a luxury home is an open floor plan with ample space. Gone are the days when homes had small rooms that were separated from one another making it difficult to spend time together or socialize. Today\u2019s savvy homeowner wants an open floor plan with a nice flow to easily move between the kitchen, dining area and living spaces. A perfect blend of architectural design and modern conveniences, Garza Blanca private beachfront residence suites are very expansive and have the coveted open floor plan you desire.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Gourmet Kitchen<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all know the kitchen is the heart of the home. As a result, a gourmet kitchen is another top request for luxury home owners that want to have it all. From top of the line appliances to beautiful cooking surfaces such as granite and marble, a gourmet kitchen with a functional floor plan is key. Not only must it be functional, but the space must be beautiful as well so that you can enjoy all your time spent in the space whether you are toasting a chilled glass of champagne, or whipping up a healthy meal. \u00a0Garza Blanca private beachfront residence kitchens are the center of the home, and are perfectly designed to be practical, yet stunningly beautiful at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pools and Outdoor Space<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of whether a home is a standalone property, or part of a larger complex, it is key to have plenty of outdoor space if you want to have a luxury home.

It just doesn\u2019t get any better than this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Location<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As they say in real estate, location, location, location! Location is one of the most important considerations if you want a desirable and affluent dwelling. \u00a0The most sought after homes are found in an ideal location close to the action, but while also maintaining high levels of privacy and security.
