What Type of Luxury Home is Best for you?

While the house hunting process is a time characterized by possibility and enthusiasm, the deeply personal nature of it can add a deep layer of cautiousness into the equation. As a prospective luxury homebuyer, you want to be confident that the type of house you’re buying truly fits the needs of your lifestyle.

From sophisticated townhouses to state of the art penthouses, there is a perfect house out there for everyone.

If you’re questioning what type of Toronto luxury home is best for you, allow us to guide you to the answer:

 

Detached Luxury Houses

Have you lived in a multi-residential building and found yourself yearning for more privacy? While condo life is ideal for some, others crave the solitude of living in a detached home.

Should you opt to live in a luxury house, you can say goodbye to shared-walls and outdoor balconies, and hello to more space, including a backyard! Houses provide more than enough room for multiple people, making this option perfect for families with children or frequent visitors. Furthermore, if you want to expand your home, that’s an additional option you have with houses that you lose with townhouses or penthouses.

However, should any issues arise with your house or land, the onus will be on you, the homeowner, to fix them. Therefore, if you don’t mind the hassle of strapping on your tool belt or calling repairmen and landscapers, you’ll be more than happy living in a house!

 

Penthouses

If you enjoy the lavish view from the top, penthouse living may just be up your alley. Penthouses are ideal for those who wish to have an exclusive home in the city without the added responsibility of having to maintain land, an exterior structure, or even remember to bring their garbage bin to the end of the driveway once a week!

Penthouses provide extra security, making them additionally great for empty nesters that are looking for a home base to come back to sporadically between their tropical travels.

 

Townhouses

For those who feel drawn towards both detached houses and penthouses for different reasons, townhouses may just fit with your lifestyle like a glove. A hybrid of the aforementioned choices, townhouses are spread out amongst multiple floors so you don’t have to share your floors and ceilings with neighbours.

If you like that owning a house includes having a garage (think storage and vehicle security), but you crave the simplicity of not having to maintain an exterior, townhouses are the paramount option.
