What to ask about private dining rooms, catering kitchens, and in-home entertaining support before closing
For buyers who entertain at a high level, the real due diligence starts after the showing. A private dining room may photograph beautifully, and a so-called catering kitchen may sound turnkey, but the practical test is whether the residence, its systems, and its governing documents can support the way you actually host. Before closing, buyers should verify association rules, permits, ventilation, electrical load, gas service, plumbing resilience, climate control, service circulation, and insurance implications so the entertaining program matches the promise.
