Homes that attract international buyers to South Florida come with much more than a kitchen, master suite and other essential spaces. These properties exude class and luxury, and they have amenities that allow owners to take full advantage of the location and climate. If you’re looking for a South Florida property, search for these must-have features.

Outdoor Patio & Kitchen

The climate of South Florida is the primary reason international buyers purchase homes in that location Your house should make it easy to enjoy the region’s sunny, warm weather. To that effect, the house should come with several outdoor amenities -- of which the first to consider is an outdoor patio and kitchen.

An outdoor patio provides you with personal space to relax on a sunny afternoon or pleasant evening, and it also can be used to entertain guests. Pairing such a feature with an outdoor kitchen makes it all that much easier to host meals on the patio.

From a little backyard barbecue where you grill for your family to a major get-together that’s professionally catered, every outdoor gathering will be more enjoyable if there’s plenty of space to mingle and a convenient place to prepare food. 

Temperature-Controlled Pool

A great compliment to an outdoor patio is a temperature-controlled in-ground pool. South Florida gets cool enough in the winter that you’ll want a heated pool for evening swims, and it gets hot enough in summer that you’ll likely want to actively cool the water before you get in.

Locked Mailbox

In any residential area it's a good idea to have a secure place for mail and package delivery. To ensure no unauthorized people can rummage through your mail, look for property that has a locked mailbox. Many upscale neighborhoods are equipt with safe and convenient options.

Multi-Zone Air Conditioning

Everyone wants air conditioning when the heat peaks (and often well before and after the peak). A home that has multi-zone air conditioning will accommodate many different temperatures and keep everyone comfortable no matter the season.
