When looking for a second home, luxury deserves to be one of your top priorities. From the views to the luxury real estate that you have to choose from, Steamboat Springs offers some of the most amazing vacation rentals and second homes that people could call their own. The Porches is happy to be one of the best neighborhood for people to choose from when they look for a new home in the area.

Knowing that we’re providing much more than just a house to people across the world, we work hard to create beautiful layouts and provide the individuals that are purchasing real estate in Steamboat with a home that they’ll love spending time in. Today we’re going to feature some of the most frequent upgrades that people looking to buy second homes are asking for.

Walk-In Showers

Showering used to be a task that we’d take care of first thing in the morning, maybe before bed at night, but it didn’t need to be anything special. When walk-in showers and spacy bathrooms started becoming a regular part of master bathrooms, we began to realize how nice some spacy showers are.

Considering most people looking to own property in Steamboat are looking for a second home, a vacation home or even the home that they’ve been dreaming of, having a shower where ultimate comfort and relaxation can be achieved is a must. Our layouts ensure that there is plenty of room for you and your family or guests to enjoy this time.

When you’re looking for a place to unwind at the end of a long day, you can count on enjoying some alone time in the walk-in shower of your home.

Open Concept

The designs in new homes are all about the open layout feel. We’ve seen this layout incorporated into many models, and we can’t help but love it too. Not only does this layout really open up your home and give it the feeling that it is larger, but it makes it easy to enjoy company from one room to the next.

One of the biggest struggles that layouts of older homes have is that the kitchen, living room and dining room are separated. When these rooms are separated, it makes enjoying time together and having enough space to host guests extremely difficult. The open layout concept is something that we’ve worked into all of our luxury real estates. We want to do everything that we can to make the most of the space and provide you with enough space to enjoy your time there.

Quality Materials

Luxury homes go far beyond the layout and the location of your home. While both of these are things that make living at The Porches incredible, the quality materials are something that separates us from the rest of the luxury homes up here. From the exterior of the homes that we’ve designed to the intricate details that are scattered throughout the interior layout, we have put a lot of thought into the various materials so that each home is unique and special.

You will see beautiful types of wood throughout the interior of your home, vibrant colors that create a warm community in the tucked away part of Steamboat and durable appliances and finishings throughout the home. The wood floors in every home will be hand scraped, hand finished and hand distressed, while every wood finish on the interior will also be hand glazed, providing a quality of work that is unlike any other home. Aside from that, you’ll also see timberstrand stile and rail on the interior of your wood doors. Beyond that, any of the stone inside of your home will be made from 100% natural stone. Enjoy stainless steel Wolf appliances, gorgeous plaster and a variety of other small details that we take time to ensure are done well.

As you walk through your new home, you will find that there are so many small areas that we’ve invested time into the design, you will feel as though the home was built specifically for you, and simply tucked away into a little piece of Colorado paradise.

Great Neighborhood

It isn’t an upgrade that you can find in the home, but after owning a few homes you will realize just how much the neighborhood is an upgrade that you can tie to the home. Whether it be the neighborhood that you are in directly or the neighborhood of the town that you’re moving into, these things make a huge difference to the way that you feel about your home.

The Porches has worked hard to ensure that the neighborhood of homes has everything necessary to make living here great. From the various amenities and perks that we offer to the gorgeous home that you’ll be moving into, the neighborhood directly surrounding The Porches is one that makes living here feel like home. If you are interested in the community outside of the immediate area, Steamboat itself is booming with events, festivals and plenty of opportunities to get out, have fun and try something new.

There are so many events that we have scheduled here, you can count on seeing plenty of them in our blog post so that you have an idea of what’s going on, what to expect and how to best plan for enjoying them.

Upgrades are inevitable to be asked about when looking for a luxury home or building the home of your dreams, but as a team we’ve worked hard to ensure that our layouts and neighborhood are competitive with the needs of our homebuyers. The Porches has worked hard to accommodate the various needs and wants of our buyers so that these are truly some of the best luxury real estate properties in Steamboat.
