This 1976 Fox Island home was built in the era of compartmentalized rooms, including a kitchen in the center, without regard to the home’s waterfront view.


A new kitchen design was created, opening up the front entry wall. An island and perimeter cabinetry were added, which together allowed for the addition of a large picture window and a full-light exterior door emphasizing the fabulous waterfront view. A wall of floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinets was added for increased storage. The kitchen design used the perfect blend of warm natural walnut wood tones mixed with the beauty of light gray cabinetry set off by vibrant marine blue-colored appliances.


The large island, topped with a solid white quartzite slab with light gray veining and seating for four, serves as a gathering place for prepping, cooking and entertaining. The soapstone-look quartzite perimeter countertops are enhanced with a coal-black composite single basin sink with a coal-black stainless faucet, complementing the matte black and brushed tin cabinet pulls. 


Additionally, an existing half wall was removed and replaced with a walnut and black iron rail system. 

The abundance of space solutions flooded with natural light creates the absence of clutter while bringing joy to cooking and entertaining in this polished kitchen.
