The large center island is the focal point of this magnificent kitchen. The granite top has a double thickness around the edges and is "leatherized" to soften its hard stone appearance. A four-inch thick Boos Bros. end grain maple butcher block tops the island end. And what other than super high-end appliances would be appropriate for this chef's kitchen? A sixty-inch gas range with steam oven, separate refrigerator and freezer, and a 170-bottle wine cooler to name a few.
