Gotta love this sleek, smart kitchen design from Italian kitchen manufacturer Valcucine. It incorporates commercial style food prep spaces into a pretty residential package that closes up shop when you do. The Logica system offers everything from wine coolers to weighing scales and there's a cool compartment for everything.  It makes conventional kitchens look positively prehistoric!

In the general DC Metro area, median sale prices rose, with decreasing days-on-market and increase in sale-to-list price ratio. Much of this is attributed to low inventory levels in the region (16 consecutive months of diminishing inventory).
