When the owners purchased this 1920’s large Victorian home, the kitchen was far too small for their active family and was hemmed in by a steep and narrower rear staircase. In addition, the couple cooks together and maintains a kosher kitchen so they needed room to spread out as well as storage for multiple sets of dishes, serving pieces and flatware. The homeowners insisted on working within the existing building footprint, so the staircase was removed in order to open up the space and fill it with natural light. The result is a bright and spacious chef’s kitchen with timeless appeal and plenty of room for the whole family”.
