This chef's kitchen showcases marble-clad custom cabinetry with an oversized walnut island, premium appliances and a generous walk-in pantry. A sunlit breakfast area, framed by a wall of windows, provides the perfect spot to start the day. The mudroom offers abundant storage, a chic garage entry, and even a custom retreat for your furry friends.
