Petruccelli L.T.D of North America asks; What are some of the must haves in a luxury home? (18)

Petruccelli L.T.D of North America says;  Water, water, everywhere -
One of the most expensive homes sold in 2010 featured a swan pond. While a swan pond might be the ultimate, nothing is making a bigger splash outside than water features. Koi ponds, fountains and waterfalls enliven sight and sound, adding sparkle and a dimension to landscapes that few other amenities can deliver. In the last 10 years, pools have gone from being eyesores to eye candy, blending artfully with the landscape, often valued more as a design feature than a place to play. On everybody’s wish list are cocktail pools — small pools that look pretty and are the ideal backdrop for drinks.
