A dining banquette doesn’t just provide convenient and, frequently, space-saving seating for quick meals and snacks, it transforms a kitchen (already the informal heart of the home) into a comfortable place to congregate.
Here, five homes that do it especially well.
In this two-bedroom, three-bath condo at 515 West 23rd Street (listed at $9.5 million), a corner banquette doubles as a window seat for reading or taking in the view.
An L-shaped banquette maximizes dining room seating in this one-bedroom, two-bath co-op at 930 Fifth Avenue (priced at $2.95 million)
This banquette—within a four bedroom, four-bath co-op at 130 East End Avenue (yours for $5.595 million)—creates a cozy nook in a corner of a kitchen that might have looked otherwise unexciting with a plain old table and chairs.
A wall of windows and natural light makes this elongated banquette the perfect place to assemble in the kitchen of this four-bedroom, five-bath penthouse condo at 2000 Broadway (going for $12.35 million).
