We Chew Over a Luncheon Loggia in This Week’s 10 Biggest Homes

We’ve run across many amenities lurking in the halls of massive mansions over the years, but the concept of a luncheon loggia is new to us. In our countdown of the largest homes to land on the market this week, we found a Florida home outfitted with this space specifically designed to consume your midday repast.

And it makes sense, because you couldn’t possibly conceive of noshing your PB&J over the kitchen sink in this, or any of the other huge homes where all the plaster is Venetian, the woodwork is custom, the chandeliers are crystal, and the spas are European.

In addition to the luncheon loggia, you’ll find other luxe amenities aplenty, including multiple pools, a nine-hole golf course, ballrooms, 4K movie theaters, a cigar room, and parking for a fleet of luxury rides.

So scroll down and take a look at these 10 lavish spreads. If you need us, we’ll be out on our lunch loggia—a folding chair in the backyard…
