The granite-top island is the centerpiece of the large, sunny kitchen. A stainless steel sink counter fills space under the windows. On the inside wall, a large gas range and hood fit into an expanse of cabinetry faced with glass and wood doors. Simple details, including the bin-style drawer pulls and plain, raised-panel cabinets, contribute to the updated yet timeless appeal of the room. Wooden chairs and an antique French breakfast table divide the kitchen from the keeping room. Furnished with fireside seating, the keeping room contains a row of rustic bookshelves installed under high windows. A banquette with leather seats forms a comfortable nook for relaxed dining.
