5 Upscale Home Features That Sound Amazing… but Often Go Unused

by anastasiakaufman-chime-me

Certain “luxury” features can make an average home sound like it’s on another level. They’re the extras that not only set them apart from other houses, but also make you feel like they’ll take your entire lifestyle up a notch.

While they might get plenty of use by some homeowners, for the average buyer, they often end up going underused—if not entirely unused—once the novelty wears off and everyday life settles in.

Here are 5 home features that sound fantastic in theory but often don’t live up to expectations:

1) Wine Cellars

The vision: A curated collection of fine wines, ready for sophisticated tastings and elegant dinner parties. But also a room you’ll head down to before every weeknight meal to pick out the perfect wine to pair with dinner.

The reality: You have three half-empty bottles of grocery store wine, and it’s mostly being used to store Costco paper towels.
