The kitchen is the heart of the house. It's where the family gathers to cook meals, bake cookies and talk about the days events. It's also one of the best places to improve the value of your home.
This kitchen is big, with lots of work surfaces. It has a great 2nd prep sink and a bar for entertaining family and guests. This also acts as a peninsula so the family room and dining area seem seperate, retaining a sense of space for each area.
In the kitchen, buyers often expect stone countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and finished cabinetry. This homeowner could upgrade this kitchen by replacing the stove top, refrigerator and oven with stainless-steel appliances.
While this kitchen is big, it's not quite big enough to install a prep island in the middle. But this smaller portable island does the job and helps solve the space issue.
Because it is on the top floor, this part of the house gets really warm in the summer. Installing a whole house fan in the attic can help keep summer electric bills down.
