7 Luxurious Houses With Over-the-Prime Bogs on the Market Proper Now
Forget a living room with towering ceilings, a kitchen that rivals ones at the best restaurants worldwide or the wine cellar complete with a tasting table and glass wall. The best room in the house today may be the bathroom.
Over-the-top bathrooms—specifically, master baths—are becoming a must-have for luxury homeowners, according to Jaclyn Bild, an agent with Douglas Elliman in Miami. “When budget isn’t a consideration, people are going all out with their primary baths,” she says. “They’re doing things like covering the floors and walls with rare marble, splurging on custom-made chandeliers, or using mood lighting.” Another prominent trend, according to Bild, is an oversized soaking tub as a centerpiece, especially in city and beach destinations where owners can take in spectacular views while they’re enjoying a soak.
From a penthouse in Sunny Isles, Florida, with a gold marble bathroom that’s bigger than most master bedrooms to a Manhattan apartment that has a master bath with unrivaled Central Park views, the seven properties for sale below feature bathrooms that fit the description of “insane.”
