There is storage for your kitchen essentials and room to sit down for a meal, but the best part might be what is beyond the sink. A large garden window looks directly onto the backyard, giving you greenery to enjoy while making coffee, preparing dinner, or doing the dishes. The light It is a simple detail, but one you get to appreciate every day. And then there is the garden itself. Enclosed by brick walls, with a raised deck, planted areas, and a small pond, it feels like a little extension of the house. Bring your coffee outside, have a friend over for dinner, or spend an afternoon with your hands in the dirt.
