What must-have features should you look for in a penthouse condo?
One of the key things to look for in a penthouse apartment is a clear separation in quality from the standard units in the complex. For example, the very best penthouses have superior quality finishing, upgraded appliances, and well-optimised floor plans.
As to what features are considered ‘must-have’, it all comes down to you as an individual. For example: some people insist on a private pool, however, going after a penthouse with a private pool could mean missing out on other amazing penthouses with unique features that do not feature one. If, however, you are happy to use the shared swimming pools in a condo complex, this could be something worth sacrificing in exchange for other features.
In any case, you should have the following:
- A private terrace / balcony
- Ample space
- Privacy
- Quality fixtures and appliances
- Fully-furnished is always a bonus!
- Spacious bedrooms
- Parking
- Open living areas
- 2-floors (a maisonette style penthouse)
- Large, floor to ceiling windows with panoramic views
- Unique, luxury features that cannot be found in other units.
Again, it all depends on you as an individual. However, you should do your due diligence and find a reputable real estate agency that can help you find the perfect penthouse that has all of the features that suit you!
Location is paramount!
When looking for a penthouse, one of your biggest considerations should be the location itself. Yes, you don’t want to have to make too many sacrifices in terms of quality, features, and in-house facilities, however, don’t compromise on location for the sake of it.
The fact is, being close to all of the main transport hubs and popular local amenities is always worth doing the extra research and being patient.
Are penthouses really worth the sky-high prices?
The answer to the question comes down to what you want from your living situation. And again, not all penthouses are created equal!
To some people, the prospect of having to take the elevator to the top floor – particularly during peak hours – can be nauseating. That said, the pros certainly far outweigh the cons.
One of the biggest factors in a penthouse’s value is the view. Living on the uppermost floors of a luxury condominium, especially in a place like Bangkok, can grant you first-class access to some of the most unforgettable views imaginable.
Ultimately, you have to weigh it all up. Some people might argue that penthouses aren’t worth it, while others swear by them. In any case, you need to make the decision for yourself.
