The chef’s kitchen has a dining area near the window, furnished with a banquette and table that comfortably seats 6. Outfitted with marble countertops, custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line Miele appliances including a 6-burner vented stove with pot-filler, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and separate freezer, this kitchen is the perfect spot for casually dining or preparing meals for large gatherings.
