Home Description:

This beautifully updated home, built in 1950, spans 1,420 square feet and showcases a completely reimagined kitchen designed for both function and style. The new layout maximizes storage on both sides of the kitchen, complemented by modern appliances. The range was relocated to optimize flow, and a desk area was added for convenience. A stunning fixed picture window was installed above the sink, bringing in natural light.

The original kitchen had several functional challenges, including improperly hinged appliances, limited cabinetry, and a dining table used for extra counter space. In this remodel, fluorescent lights were replaced with recessed lighting, creating a more inviting atmosphere.

Cabinetry highlights include pantry roll-outs perfect for storing appliances, baking supplies, and even a toaster. A pantry outlet, soft-close doors and drawers, under-cabinet lighting, and task lighting at the sink enhance the kitchen’s functionality. Custom stained alder wood upper cabinets and Sherwin Williams Bold Brick painted lower cabinets bring warmth and charm to the space, while slim hidden cabinet pulls maintain a sleek, minimalist aesthetic.

The kitchen and dining area are separated by a privacy sliding glass door, allowing natural light to flow while maintaining functionality. The quartz countertops feature a "triple pencil" edge detail, combining beauty with durability, as the quartz is resistant to stains, chips, and cracks—ideal for a busy kitchen. The natural stone terrazzo backsplash beautifully ties in the kitchen's rusty, red tones, while the non-porous LVT flooring offers unmatched durability and easy maintenance, perfect for everyday living.
