This kitchen floor plan was completely changed by removing the three load bearing columns, opening up the view and flow to the living room. A window was removed to make the breakfast area smaller, giving way for the addition of an oversized cooktop and an expansive island for entertaining. The refrigerator was relocated to provide separation from the majority of the existing kitchen to create a butlers pantry with ample storage, a second sink and dishwasher. Central to the main kitchen area is a chef’s dream come true packed with selections that make this space just as functional as it is beautiful. The cooking space features an elegant oversized gas cooktop with a seamless quartz backsplash that is easy to clean, not to mention beautiful to look at. Extra wide cabinet drawers below the cooktop house ample pots and pans in direct reach. Finally, two full height countertop mounted cabinets flank the area, containing pull out interior shelves for easy access to spices and other ingredients and kitchen tools.
