“Our life philosophy is that you only live once,” says the homeowner. So, when this house, situated in a prime location on Massapequa Cove that they loved came on the market, she and her husband moved quickly.

This is a family that has extended family and friends congregating during every season and all holidays. As Lisa explains, “Peter is from this area, he is a great cook, and our kitchen truly needed to be an open space that captured the water views from every area while having the functionality of a working space with all the bells and whistles.” They also wanted a sophisticated white kitchen with black accents that was part of their entire home.

The custom wine room by Joseph & Curtis is a huge asset to their lifestyle. No matter the potential problem, Starck had the fix that integrated seamlessly. “We are thankful to have a space that is welcoming yet sophisticated, a place where those we love come together.
