Luxury Homes With Elevator

If you’re considering buying a home with an elevator, you’ll probably want to find out more about the lift as listing remarks might not go into great detail. There are multiple different types of private elevators, each with their own advantages and cost. Different factors include the interior size, the square footage around or adjacent to the elevator needed for the various components, and the mechanics involved in making the hoist go up and down. A traction motor utilizes pulleys, belts or steel cables; a drum motor uses both pulleys and a winding drum; hydraulic elevators work with cylinders and pistons; and a pneumatic of vacuum system makes use of turbines and forced air.

More About Luxury Homes with Elevators in Washington Metro

For those desiring the ultimate in convenience, luxury homes with elevators are the way to go. This, of course, assumes that the subject property is either a detached home with more than one story, or a multilevel townhouse. In the Washington DC Metropolitan area, the inventory for currently available properties with this pricey perk won’t be huge. But you will find a select grouping of high end homes in the category, spread out through the District itself, as well as surrounding areas such as Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Bethesda, and more.

There are plenty of reasons for wanting a luxury home with an elevator. Convenience is an obvious one, especially with a home with several levels. After all, tightly winding spiral stairs with floating steps may look super cool, but climbing up and down can get old after a while, especially when you’re trying to carry trays of food and drink from a kitchen on one floor to a family room or entertainment area at a different level. Imagine hosting a party on a wonderful rooftop deck overlooking the city, but the guests keep having to share congested winding stairs to get to other living areas or restrooms. That can get tricky and bothersome, especially for those wearing high heels!

There are other incentives for having an elevator as well, such as lifting heavy objects from one floor to another, or an individual’s mobility issues. Ultimately, luxury amenities are a matter of personal choice for real estate shoppers. Whether it’s an elevator, a swimming pool, new construction, a waterfront location, or any other lifestyle choice, the DC Luxury Collection is dedicated to helping inform those in the Washington Metropolitan region, including the District, Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Montgomery County, Loudoun County, Prince George’s, and other areas.
