With walls of cool blue set against mahogany-stained cabinets, the Yeager's kitchen is decidedly modern. Murgiano marble countertops compliment the dark cabinetry and ebony-stained oak floor. A generously proportioned marbletop island with inset gas cooktop provides an excellent area for planters or vases displaying Angie's floral designs, while still providing plenty of room to cozy up to the cook in the oversized lime-green bar chairs. When entertaining casually, the island often serves as a food buffet or drink station. The pair of German halogen pendant overhead, along recessed ceiling fixtures, provide excellent kitchen lighting.
A large kitchen window floods light into the space from the north while glass doors connect the kitchen on the south to a garden room complete with table and chairs, limestone fireplace, and view of the garden and summer house.
Appliances include double Wolfe ovens and warming drawer, Miele dishwasher, Grohe faucet, and a cabinet-paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator. The cherry cabinets include features thoughtfully designed with Brenda Barton of Kitchen Gallery such as lazy susans, pullout shelves, and a built-in spice rack. The adjacent butler's pantry features painted cabinetry also from Kitchen Gallery, a wet bar, a computer area, and 8' pocket doors that can be opened to the formal dining room. Built -in wall speakers provide excellent sound throughout the kitchen, dining, and outdoor areas. Luxuriously inviting with plenty of room for friends and family , this homeowner's kitchen shows special strengths with regard to gracious living.
