This open floor plan kitchen is beautifully integrated with all other rooms around it, making it truly the heart of this home.

Close up of the island highlights the Jenn-Air under counter microwave oven drawer, the refrigerator/freezer and the Viking gas cooktop.

A place for everything and everything in its place.

A beautiful way to organize - the upper shelves are for containers, while base cabinets conceal file drawers and other types of storage.

The architecturally distinctive open pantry area allows immediate review of all available staples and space for the owners art and collectables, making it not only functional but a beautiful part of the room as well.

The cook's view.

View from the breakfast room shows many of the new kitchen highlights: the large Jenn-Air french door refrigerator, the open pantry, the blackboard cabinet doors - perfect for messages, today's menu or the kids artwork.

New larger corner windows bring more daylight and beautiful views inside the kitchen and allow mom to watch the kids playing in the backyard.
