The large outdoor deck allows the homeowner to enjoy the incredible views while still being protected from the occasional breezes/winds. The full-height sliding glass doors provides quick and easy access to the kitchen. The unique arrangement of the kitchen on the expansive view side of the home allows everyday views from the “heart of the home”, where everyone tends to gather. The minimized upper cabinets are more than made up for with the huge island and adjacent pantry. The resulting arrangement is the next best thing to having an outdoor, gourmet kitchen.
