The kitchen has subtle design details such as the custom iron banding above the cabinetry and at the vent hood, Wood-Mode cabinets, Alpina White quartz counters, a 36" Wolf gas cooktop with griddle and a chiseled stone backsplash. This view shows the 10' Cambria Quartz Bellingham island, which sits under three Hubbardton Forge pendants. Just beyond the island with one of the two dishwashers is the 48" SubZero refrigerator. The Fleetwood sliding pocket door system leads to the courtyard.
