FACING PAGE: The raised, vaulted ceiling in the kitchen features dropped-oak beams to bring warmth to the space, while the sleek vertical-grain oak cabinets

has double and steam ovens, dual sinks and dishwashers, and a separate full-size refrigerator and freezer. Here, the marriage of kitchen and screened-in porch
creates the ultimate seamless entertainment area with a custom 16-by-9-foot Marvin door that pockets into the wall.
