This handsome, roomy kitchen/dining room is an inviting gathering space for this lovely home on Cape Cod designed and built by Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders. Two islands in the middle of the kitchen create abundant counter top work space with more near the sink and range top. The adjoining dining room is great for formal affairs while a small, curved breakfast nook provides a perfect place to enjoy a more casual meal. Expansive windows let in lots of sun and the warm-toned color of the walls contributes a richness to the space. All together it makes for a very nice multi-use room.

    Great way to insure that the occupants get in their 10,000 steps each day with this wide open design. Maybe it is meant for people with kitchen staff to do the meal preparation.
