The original kitchen and pantry in an older Victorian home where combined to create a highly functional kitchen. The brick chimney was painted white and became the anchor for a wrap around island with a sink, seating and extra storage. The 36" cooktop and refrigerator are conveniently located right behind the sink prep/cleanup area. The baking and storage are off to the side and a small coffee/wine bar is located in the corner.
