The kitchen renovation extended the front of the house with a stone-walled foundation, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a second entrance door. An addition to the rear of the house mirrors the front expansion and doubled the size of the kitchen.

Natural light floods the informal dining area from a bank of windows. A central island in the expansive kitchen provides a second prep area as well as a gathering point for guests.

A custom-designed, hand-crafted copper hood adds unique character to the kitchen. The warm metal complements the cherry cabinets and butcher-block prep area.

A space-saving configuration of pull-out shelving offers ample storage space for pantry items. Additional cabinet storage under the island provides a home for the owner’s collection of cookbooks.
