Achieving this amazing open kitchen required putting an addition on the back corner of the home, but the results were everything the homeowners had dreamed. The lower level prep sink and microwave are perfect for eager grand kids wanting to help. The bar stools on the peninsula, table end on the island and bistro table in the nook, offer plenty of seating options in addition to the formal dining room. Little touches like the up-lit light box with pendant lights, open shelving for collectibles, ribbed glass over the coffee bar, and fun chalk board on the pantry door, keep the space cozy and inviting!
