4519 Kitchen
4519 has an enclosed Kitchen measuring approximately 10 feet x 11 feet.
All of the Appliances are new, never used
and are still in their original
protective wrapping...
Many of the smaller homes here in Mount Vernon have had the interior wall
between the Kitchen and the Dining Room removed for a more
Open Concept feeling.
However, before you consider doing that (fairly easy to do with the roof rafter
design of Mount Vernon homes), please note this:
The nice thing about keeping the existing separate Kitchen area design is
that it makes the Kitchen fairly private from your entertaining areas
in the rest of the home.
"What happens in the Kitchen, stays in the Kitchen".
With an Open Concept design, your Kitchen with its cooking, dishes, pots
and pans are all out in the open. The present Owner of 4519 appreciated
the original design and did not choose to remove the Kitchen walls.
This design makes for more privacy when cooking and is more like a
traditional home with a separate meal preparation area rather than
being part of the Living Room/Dining room space.
Because the Kitchen is rather large (10 feet x 11 feet) and is not a galley
type design as have many homes here in Mount Vernon, there is plenty of
space in the Kitchen for your guests to visit you while cooking the meal
without getting into your way.
The Kitchen has a pass-through opening between the Kitchen and the Dining
Room so that your guests do not have to come into the Kitchen
to be served. This opening could be closed off with shutters if desired for
further privacy.
Note that the Kitchen has its own pocket door to its entry which allows
further privacy while preparing meals or closing off the Kitchen when surprise
guests show up.
The Kitchen has had recent tile (slate appearance) flooring installed and the original
Domed ceiling was removed and replaced with a white painted Tongue & Groove Pine inset.
Halogen mini-track lights within the ceiling inset provides bright illumination to the
Kitchen area. Each track light bar has its own ON/OFF wall switch to adjust the
brightness to your lighting needs. The LED light within the inset ceiling fan
makes for a great night-light that you can leave ON all the time.
A high velocity 34 inch Kichler 4078 CFM mini-Ceiling fan was recently installed that
really pushes the air for keeping the cook cool during meal
preparation.
The Kitchen cabinets have just been replaced with soft close drawers/cabinets
in a bright white Shaker design. Satin finish Post Office style drawer pulls
compliment the new cabinetry. Note in the photo that the cabinets
are made of plywood, not particle board. Very good quality. The white faces contrast nicely with
the birch plywood in the interiors.
The Countertop is genuine Black Walnut butcher-block. It is very easy to take of
and adds quite a lot of warmth to the Kitchen.
All of the Kitchen appliances are new, never used. Whirlpool Stainless Steel.
Microwave, Oven, Dishwasher and the Refrigerator.
The Kitchen double stainless steel sink (with a recently installed InSinkErator)
is equipped with a new Krause commercial restaurant
faucet.
The Kitchen has just been painted (Silver Birch with Bright White trim).
Across the Hallway from the Kitchen is a huge, deep Pantry. 6 feet wide x 2 feet deep.
Shelved storage on the left side with a Closet on the right side.
Note that in the Hallway ceiling is a large Ventilation Fan that can be used to
pull fresh, cool outside air into the house when the temperatures
are not hot enough to run the Air Conditioner, or to pull cooking fumes
out of the house quickly.
The Kitchen has a western facing front window for wonderful Florida sunset views
while you are preparing the evening meals.
