The composition of the kitchen was designed to be flawlessly functional. Island seating makes for a perfect gathering space for the children to do their homework while mom listens and prepares meals. The island cook top creates a culinary “command central” work/play/entertain station for chef and guests alike. In addition, the lower island extension wraps around to the dining area to allow for buffet-style dinners when large parties are assembled. Smart, compact storage solutions include the oven and microwave, both of which are integrated side-by-side into the cabinetry. The kitchen flows flawlessly to the open-concept family room.
