Island. A striking Fantasy Brown quartzite waterfall countertop wraps around three sides of the island, creating a lovely view from the adjacent living room. A special must-have the homeowners carried over from their former home was a dedicated baking station. Johnson found room for it at the far end of the island. Its 32-inch height (compared with the 36-inch height of the other counters) makes rolling out dough easier. Like the perimeter countertops, the baking station’s counter is quartz, but in a thicker profile. “We made it 2½ inches high to give it some heft, kind of like a chopping block would look,” Johnson says. The baking counter has a mitered edge, which gives it the appearance of a solid thick slab. The island is 98 inches long by 28 inches wide and is 38 inches from the perimeter counters. It has seating on one side, which was important to the couple, and storage on the other. The work side of the island contains the everyday dishes and china, which are easy to access when unloading the dishwasher or serving. There’s an electrical outlet on the work side next to the baking station. Refrigerator. The fridge has a panel front that fits in seamlessly with the rest of the cabinetry. To the left of the fridge is a pantry cabinet and to the right is a pullout for the trash and recycling bins. Perimeter and baking countertops: London Sky quartz, Corian; see more quartz countertops

Baking station? Lower portion of the island? I am a huge baker.
