Kitchen & Living Areas:
The mother-in-law suite features All Plywood Hampshire Cabinetry in a custom configuration with elegant M1302 Somerset cup pulls and M1317 ringed knobs for a cohesive traditional aesthetic. MSI Q Quartz countertops in Blanca Arabescato provide a sophisticated marble-look surface with exceptional durability. The kitchen is anchored by a Ruvati undermount stainless steel 16-gauge double bowl sink with a 60/40 configuration, paired with a homeowner-provided Kraus Oletto single-handle pull-out faucet in polished chrome. An InSinkErator Badger 5XP 3/4 hp garbage disposal with convenient SinkTop dual outlet air switch completes the sink area.
Appliances:
The suite includes a full complement of space-efficient appliances: a Whirlpool 24-inch freestanding gas range (2.96 cu ft capacity), Haier 24-inch over-the-range microwave with sensor cooking controls, and a Samsung 22.3 cu ft counter-depth side-by-side refrigerator with ice maker. The dedicated laundry area features Samsung stackable units — a 4.5 cu ft high-efficiency front-load washer and matching 7.5 cu ft gas dryer.
Flooring & Architectural Details:
Vision Luxury Vinyl Tile flooring in "Driftwood" (504) provides waterproof, low-maintenance coverage throughout the suite with realistic wood-look styling. A custom knotty solid paneled wood slab barn door with twisted steel sliding hardware and forged door pulls adds rustic charm and space-saving functionality. Maine white floating wall shelves offer additional storage and display options.
Laundry Area:
The laundry room countertop matches the kitchen with MSI Q Quartz in Blanca Arabescato, creating visual continuity throughout the suite while providing a durable folding surface above the stackable washer and dryer.
