Extra Kitchen=Extra Sanity

Every now and then, I walk into a home and think, Well… this changes everything.
That happened when we toured a house right here in the neighborhood — complete with a second kitchen tucked away like a little behind‑the‑scenes miracle.

And let me tell you… I’m still thinking about it.

A catering kitchen (or prep kitchen, second kitchen, bonus kitchen… whatever you want to call it) is one of those features you don’t realize you need until you see it. Suddenly you’re imagining holidays, dinner parties, birthday cakes, weeknight chaos; all made easier because the “real work” happens in the kitchen behind the kitchen.

Extra fridge. Extra oven. Extra dishwasher. Extra storage.
Basically: extra sanity.

It’s the place where you hide the appliances you love but don’t want on display… where you prep the big meal without messing up the beautiful main kitchen… where the air fryer, mixer, crockpot, and Instant Pot can finally live their best lives without fighting for counter space.

And for buyers who aren’t trying to live in a palace but do appreciate thoughtful living?
This hits the sweet spot.

You don’t need a 10‑car garage or a wine cellar shaped like a cave in Tuscany.
But a tucked‑away second kitchen that keeps the main space clean, calm, and company‑ready?
That’s the kind of everyday luxury more people can actually use.

It’s practical.
It’s smart.
And honestly… it’s fun.

If you ever want to see one in action or explore homes with features that make life feel just a little easier, I’m always happy to show you around.
