Visions of turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes are beginning to dance in our heads as we transition from Halloween to the official start of the holiday season. Here, we showcase six fantastic dining rooms that would inspire any elaborate feast.
This spectacular, 13,914-square-foot estate at the base of Aspen Mountain features an incredible, traditional-style dining room, with the snowy peaks as a backdrop. An ornate chandelier hangs from the vaulted, 30-foot, wood-beamed ceilings over the dining room, which offers ample space for the whole family. The adjacent gourmet chef’s kitchen makes replenishing the dishes or sneaking in for seconds more than convenient. There is even space at the kitchen counter to seat the little ones together. The feast segues perfectly to after-dinner cocktails by the crackling stone fireplace. Represented by Allie Lutz, Heather Sinclair, Chris Flynn and Lisa Hatem, the home is available for the first time ever, featuring nine bedrooms, 14 baths, a professional bar, game room, multi-level theater and rooftop hot tub.
