Houses built for connoisseurs of luxury living who expect sleeping quarters with space, style - and a jacuzzi
For most of us, an en suite bathroom is a mark of luxury. Not so for some of today's connoisseurs of sumptuous living.
Imagine a master bedroom that includes an office, walk-in closets and a jacuzzi along with the usual bath and shower stall. Those are the features included in the 14 new houses at 33 Cape Road, Chung Hom Kok. The development, built by small developer Tai Cheung (Holdings), will be put up for public sale in the next two weeks.
The 3,100 sq ft, three-storey houses will each have a dining room on the first floor, and two bedrooms and one family room on the second floor. All 900 sq ft of the third floor, however, will be given over to the master suite.
'The style of luxury living is changing,' said Tai Cheung chairman David Chan Pun. 'Because families are smaller, the owners do not need four or five small bedrooms. They prefer a spacious master suite.'
He said the huge master suite was a special feature of the project, designed to draw buyers, and was a dramatic departure from the philosophy of most developers who believed that buyers wanted more bedrooms.
'Master suites are not just for sleeping - people commonly see them as a getaway or home office,' Mr Chan said.
