The Viking Professional gas range sits center stage to contemporary custom-built cabinets, all stainless high-end appliances, gorgeous quartz counter tops, a wine cooler, and modern fixtures to polish off this gem of a kitchen. Flanking the kitchen is a dining nook providing additional entertaining space and a large window filling the kitchen with natural light.
