The true essence of a home lies in its ability to bring people together. Maybe it’s the brilliant views of a city gleaming right outside the dining room window or the spacious, verdant backyard with room for a table that seats 20.

From day to night, indoors and out, here are the ultimate homes designed for bringing people together, entertaining and making memories that last.
