White oak flooring extends into the kitchen, connecting living, entry, and dining room into a seamless whole. Featuring the beautifully functional BLANCO PRECIS™ multi-level SILGRANIT sink, a Brizo faucet, and an integrated panel Bosch dishwasher, the cleanup area provides occupants with beautiful views of the neighborhood and tree canopy. Looking into the dining and living area, a cooking island, highlighted by a Faber vent hood and a Thermador cooktop, integrates the Richlite paper-composite bar and invites guests to interact socially with the host during food prep and cleanup. The island also provides for multiple traffic flow pathways while giving the cook(s) plenty of space to maneuver. Easy access from the kitchen to the living/dining room as well as to the back bedrooms, highlighted at the end of the hall by an art niche, not only brings the kitchen occupant into the conversation but makes them the center of attention!
