4 Home Entertainment Upgrades for Your Hamptons Real Estate Property

Homebuyers have become increasingly reliant on their homes as multipurpose spaces. Spaces once used for relaxing, dining, or sleeping are now part-time offices, classrooms, and gyms. With more time spent at home, it’s natural for a sense of restlessness and cabin fever to set in. Adding a few home entertainment upgrades is an easy way to relax and spend time together.

Whether you’re considering listing your Sag Harbor home for sale or cherishing it for years to come, now’s a perfect time to upgrade your entertainment amenities. In addition to their return on investment (ROI), the entertainment upgrades listed below can collectively maximize your home’s resale potential and increase your family’s enjoyment of your Hamptons real estate.

Bring the excitement of the movie theater to your Sag Harbor home by creating your very own home theater. With many blockbusters hitting streaming platforms as early as they hit the theaters, gone are the days of having to find showtimes that work within your schedule. You can use a home theater for film viewings, sporting events, and gaming.

Today, more often than ever before, people stay home to watch the big game with a small group of close friends and fans. A home theater can maximize the viewing experience for your family and friends—and will help potential homebuyers imagine themselves doing the same.

 

The widespread availability of bigger, better audio and media devices allows homeowners to create a sensational viewing experience within the comfort of their luxury homes. Create a dedicated media room with high-end equipment, including theater seats, immersive viewing projectors, and speakers with subwoofers and amplifiers. If your Sag Harbor real estate has enough square footage, a dedicated viewing room will add value and pleasure to your space.

If you don’t have the square footage to dedicate an entire room, you can still incorporate the same high-end media in your living room. Instead of a projector, consider including a pull-down or pop-up television to provide an exceptional viewing experience without infringing on the carefully-curated aesthetics of your home.

Smart home systems are extremely valuable for security purposes and daily tasks around your Hamptons home. An experienced smart home designer can help determine which devices will have the most significant impact on your daily routine. Simple tools, like voice-activated light fixtures, could drastically improve your day-to-day life. Smart appliances, like temperature-controlled faucets and high-end ovens, can help decrease stress when hosting a dinner party or cooking day-to-day. Don't forget to add smart mirrors to your bathrooms, so you can catch up on the daily headlines while getting ready in the morning.

Pools give your home style and provide hours of entertainment and relaxation for both children and adults. The absence of a pool house requires people to trek in and out of the main house, often with wet feet and towels, if they want a beverage or use the bathroom. The addition of a pool house to your Sag Harbor home will add function, style, and resale value. When designing your pool house, include a covered seating space (with a bar area and outdoor kitchen), a bathroom, and storage space for all your pool supplies.

 

 

Fitness is not only great for your body, but it also provides stimulation for your mind. If you have enough space in your yard, adding a designated athletics court is the perfect addition for your entertainment and health. Your family will have endless hours of fun—in a way that perfectly offsets the time spent lounging in your media room or home office. Bocce ball has a long and exciting history, and it can provide your family with hours of fun.

Tennis courts give you loads of practice opportunities for your next match or tournament at the club. And if you don’t have enough space for a full tennis court, consider a smaller paddleball court. Upgrade the average driveway basketball hoop to an entire court, and your kids will be thrilled—and down the road, potential buyers will be impressed. Additionally, a Squash court is sure to get your blood pumping.
