The next doorway opens into a unique bathroom and shower completely encompassed with colorful custom handmade ceramic tiles.

On the west side of the foyer is a large, fully-equipped, gourmet kitchen equipped with Subzero Refrigerator/freezer, Miele dishwasher, and 5 Star 48" commercial stove/oven/grill, and with single slab granite countertops, solid cherry cabinets, and a breakfast nook surrounded by 16 windows and a glass door leading to the covered pergola with gas grill.
