Custom soft-close cabinetry is complemented by a glass tile backsplash, pull-out drawers, and a hidden trash compartment. A custom wood range hood highlights the five-burner gas cooktop, while the KitchenAid appliance suite and Kohler stainless steel undermount sink support everyday efficiency. A dedicated coffee bar and walk-in pantry with wood shelving provide additional storage and convenience.
