The recent updates to this 5-bedroom colonial, including the stunning kitchen, give this home a stylish, sophisticated look.
Charming Colonial in New Canaan, Conn.: Open-Plan Kitchen
The home features a strategically planned designer kitchen. A square-shaped island with a built-in microwave and prep sink is situated in the center of the open concept space, creating a spot where the chef can prepare food while still being a part of the conversation in the connecting living area.
High-End Look
The luxurious kitchen pairs chocolate brown perimeter cabinets with a crisp white island for striking contrast. Two different island countertop surfaces create additional interest, and sleek, round pendant lights complete the high-end look.
Kitchen Dining Area
The open concept kitchen flows into a large, open living space that features a dining area, an office nook and an oversized armchair. The dining area offers a round wood table and four upholstered chairs for intimate, comfortable dining.
Kitchen Island
The kitchen island features a round slab of wood slightly raised to accommodate two barstools, creating a unique, eye-catching design. Top-end stainless steel appliances and rich brown cabinets complete the designer kitchen.
Seating Area
A stylish seating area with a cozy armchair is situated just outside the kitchen. A chic zebra print rug helps section off the space from the open plan kitchen and dining area.
