Six homes with oversized "great rooms" in which to gather

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom loft at 132 West 22nd Street (renting for $20,000/month) has a massive main room with space enough for an open entertainment area, a formal dining room and a built-in breakfast banquet in the kitchen area.
Once upon a time, we prepared meals in the kitchen, served them in the dining room, and then retired to the living room for some after-dinner socializing. These days, all of those activities tend to take place in one single central location, which is why homes with, over-sized, centralized, multi-use spaces are so desirable.
Here, six apartments that illustrate the concept, offering great rooms in which friends and family can eat, drink and be merry together.


This three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath penthouse condo at 22 Mercer Street (on the market for $7.595 million) boasts a main floor great room with 11-foot-9-inch ceilings, a woodburning fireplace, an open chef’s kitchen—with Gaggenau, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances—and a dining area large enough to fit the whole family.

The centerpiece of this four-bedroom, three-bath condo loft at 132 Perry Street (for rent at $30,000/month) is the sun-filled great room, boasting five oversized casement windows, a north-facing Juliet balcony, a south-facing terrace, three exposures, a woodburning fireplace, and an open kitchen.
