The Kitchen

Truly the Heart of the Home.

Luxury Meets
Heartfelt Hospitality

The opulent, commercial-sized chef’s kitchen (20’ x 40’) is truly the heart of the home—a warm, welcoming space designed for gathering, creating lasting memories, and preparing unforgettable meals. Outfitted with dual built-in side-by-side Miele refrigerators and a built-in Miele freezer with custom ice dispenser, the kitchen also features a Wolf warming drawer for professional-grade convenience. Custom, white-painted maple cabinetry pairs beautifully with light, warm travertine floors, while a KitchenAid microwave doubles as a third convection oven, adding further versatility.

At the center of it all sits a stunning Shaws Lancaster 39.5” apron-front farmhouse sink, crafted in England, complete with Waterstone USA Rohl artisan fixtures, including a chrome pot filler, built-in soap dispenser, instant hot water tap, and hand sprayer. A trash compactor and built-in recycling bin make cleanup effortless. Surrounding the kitchen is a mix of diamond white quartzite countertops and a sprawling Cabernet quartz dining island—which comfortably seats four and includes an in-island sink for prepping fresh vegetables from the garden. The island also boasts two Rev-a-Shelf appliance lifts, perfect for concealing a stand mixer or slow cooker, along with hidden outlets for added utility.

The backsplash is a timeless crystal white marble subway tile, complementing solid brass RIK pulls in polished nickel and crystal and chrome knobs by Emtek. The 10’ upper cabinets include interior lighting and display shelves, while under-cabinet lighting keeps workspaces beautifully lit. All cabinetry features full-extension pull-out shelves for easy access, and several of the largest cabinets near the rear entrance serve as flexible storage—ideal for coats, shoes, or seasonal items.

Additional thoughtful touches include a built-in desk with a cleverly hidden charging drawer containing outlets for devices, four file drawers, two supply drawers, and a well-lit work surface with additional outlets—perfect for managing everyday tasks.

Thoughtful Touches
Throughout

Anchoring the culinary space is a professional-grade 48” propane Thermador range with dual ovens, six burners, and an interchangeable griddle/grill, framed by a custom 60” Thermador hood and a glass-and-marble mosaic backsplash that adds a luxurious focal point. The walk-in pantry provides expansive, well-organized storage to support your culinary endeavors.

For entertaining, a ULINE dual-zone beverage cooler offers perfectly chilled compartments for both wines and sodas, with a glass front so guests can easily help themselves. Just above, open shelving and built-in wine storage provide convenient space for glassware and bottles. The built-in coffee bar features a prep sink with Waterstone fixtures and a unique ice maker that produces top-hat shaped ice—perfect for refreshing chilled beverages.

Ambiance & Functionality

The kitchen is as much about ambiance as it is about function. Three Restoration Hardware crystal chandeliers add sparkle and charm, with dimmable lighting to set the perfect tone for lively gatherings or intimate dinners. A cozy window seat overlooking a bed of lush blue hydrangeas invites guests to linger with a glass of lemonade or a morning cup of coffee.

Finally, the breakfast area nestled within the kitchen offers breathtaking views of Mount Si, visible through double French doors that open to a covered patio—seamlessly blending indoor comfort with outdoor entertaining in every season.
