A gas stovetop, stainless steel appliances, as well as cookware and utensils ensure you have anything you need for a quick and easy breakfast or an elaborate dinner feast. Floor-to-ceiling windows with forest and garden views line the wall opposite of the kitchen providing plenty of natural light when you’re ready to prepare a meal. Plus, there’s plenty of breakfast-bar seating just on the other side of the countertop to keep the chef entertained through it all.
