Luxury Homes For Sale - Brentwood TN
What is luxury? It should be noted that such a term is subjective. Sometimes it is defined by dollar amount, and other times it is defined by the quality and characteristics of the item. In this case, a home.
What Price Level is Luxury?
Exactly. It is all a perception. For example, is a $10 million home luxury? What if I told you it was a log cabin 5 miles into the woods, and it was 100 sq.ft. and had no heat? Is that luxury? On the other hand, what if it was a penthouse suite in a New York City high-rise? See how that can be subjective? In most cases, we define "luxury" through a combination of the financial aspect and the value you are receiving for that price. And even then, it will be a subjective personal opinion, so for this discussion we will consider what is the popular opinion for the area where the homes are.
Luxury Home Price Level in Brentwood
This is an evolutionary point meaning it will not always be the same. As any area grows from demand and inflation, prices of everything will increase. While a "luxury" home in Brentwood could have been purchased for less than $1 million at one time, the average home has now surpassed that point, so it depends on what level of luxury home one is seeking. That level home will still have many luxury features, but the market now has an abundance of homes that are several times that price with no real price ceiling.
Brentwood Luxury Home Features
With the subjectivity of how luxury is defined are home features that contribute to that definition. Here are some of the nearly infinite options that are seen in luxury homes in Brentwood and surrounding areas.
Exterior Luxury Home Features
- Land Quantity & Quality - This of course is the land (usually defined by a large quantity), or an extensive residential lot the home sits on. Traditionally, the more there is the more value there is.
- Footprint of Home - While size is a factor, how much is on one level is also a factor because it affects the cost.
- Exterior Finish - Brick and stone are most popular. Genuine stone is a higher luxury than cultured. Painted brick is also a popular trend in construction presently.
- Gas Lighting - Lanterns on the home, posts, entrances that burn 24/7 are a beautiful luxury finish.
- Upgraded Roof - Architectural shingles are fairly standard, but there are several premium options - some of which resemble (or actually are) slate.
- Entrance / Gate - Entrances constructed of brick or stone - sometimes with lighting. Electric gates are also an option.
- Hardscaping - This can include retaining walls, decorative flatwork, decks around pools, fountains, etc.
- Landscaping & Irrigation - While many or most homes in the area have these, the extent can contribute to taking a home from average to luxury.
- Front Door - Possibly considered an exterior and interior finish item, the front door and entrance on a luxury home is quite a design element. Possibly including components of Mahogany or steel, surrounding windows, and custom finish, the front door can definitely be a luxury component.
Outdoor Living
- Outdoor Kitchen - Quite popular and extensive, these are often on the rear porch, attached to the pool house, or adjacent to the pool, and include nearly all the amenities of an indoor kitchen.
- Pool - Luxury pools are far from a basic in-ground or above-ground pool. Custom designs, installation methods, materials, and surrounding decking elevate this type of pool to a luxury amenity.

Luxury Home Construction Features
- Upgraded Framing - Rather than using just enough for code, upgraded lumber sizing increases floor and wall quality.
- Back-up Generator - Generac is the brand you hear the most, but these units auto-engage during power outages and disengage when power resumes to provide a nearly seamless transition.
- Recirculating Hot Water - While not difficult to incorporate into a home during construction, recirculating hot water provides hot water at each faucet within seconds.
- TechShield - Reflective insulation for the underside of the roof which is an energy saver.
- Subfloor Material - Once covered, most people never see it or give it another thought, but there are premium upgrades for this material during construction.

Multiple-piece crown, tall/wide base, cased openings, wainscotting, feature walls, coffer ceilings are all examples of how the trim in a home can bring it to a new level.
