5 things you might find in a new $1,000,000 home

We recently bid a million-dollar, 3,000-square-foot custom home in the heart of Silicon Valley.

This home is in the most expensive real estate market in the country. People can spend $1,000+ per square foot in this town.

Here are just a few of the beautiful and interesting things a homeowner might choose to include in a million-dollar home.

- Fancy staircase: This home has a special-order, $38,000 staircase. This is the kind you'll see in Dwell Magazine. The staircase has floating wooden steps, a structural steel stringer, steel supports, and a metal wire railing.

- Special-cut hardwood flooring: This home includes $35,000 hardwood flooring that is rift sawn. Rift sawing is the most expensive way to harvest wood from a tree trunk. It's also the hardest and most durable.

- Four exquisite bathrooms that have a total of $5,600 in glass shower doors, tile everywhere, and waterproof floors.

- Custom kitchen cabinets totaling $36,000.

- 10-part glass doors running the full length of the kitchen and living area. A truly open living area like this, in earthquake country, with another story above, requires that the walls are more like those of a steel skyscraper vs. those of a traditional wood-framed house.
