Lifts inside homes the latest must-have feature in prestige properties
IT used to be that the mere presence of a lift was a sign of prestige - but look how these homes have “elevated” the idea.

The humble luxury elevator has come up in the world.
Leading the rise in design wow factor is this premier property in Applecross, 8km south of Perth in the million-dollar-median riverside belt.
The amazing glass lift takes pride of place in the imposing foyer hub of the home, standing as a crystal centrepiece next to a sweeping staircase.
Agent Craig Langton of Real Estate Express With Andy Brown said the light-filled formal foyer exuded an ambience of classical grandeur.
“The curves of the grand staircase sweep upstairs alongside the spectacular semicircular glass and stainless steel lift,” Mr Langton said.
The home also has a full-tiled wine cellar with floor to ceiling storage for more than 800 bottles of wine.
The cellar also has a lounge area. The house is on the market for $4.895 million.
Across the Swan River in exclusive Mosman Park, a home agent Willie Porteous describes as “nirvana” also rises above the ordinary with a combination of grand staircase and sleek elevator.
“Mirrored in gleaming marble, the entry foyer is vast with soaring ceilings and a staircase that pirouettes through the space with balletic grace,” Mr Porteous said.
He said the glass elevator spanned the three levels of the home at 149 Wellington St, Mosman Park, which is on the market for expressions of interest.
