Northumberland

This elegant and stunning remodel updated an older, dated kitchen to create a versatile entertaining and living space for the homeowners. The old kitchen was closed off and separated from the family room by an awkward and narrow archway. The kitchen now opens to the family room through an expanded archway that incorporates the original columns. The upgraded kitchen boasts custom white cabinets with gold hardware; a knockout La Cornue Range and custom range hood; Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer; a killer island with a prep sink, microwave drawer, baking station for the stand mixer, and pull-out trash drawers; a charming breakfast nook with a new bar cabinet; a built-in butler's pantry where an old closet was. The remodel allowed the owners to enclose the formal dining room and separate it from the kitchen, while adding enough space to add an informal dining table between the family room and kitchen. An old built-in cabinet in the family room was re-installed in the kids' playroom for games and toy storage.
