“The intent of the home was to take advantage of the 360-degree view with mountains to the back and a valley view from the front,” explained homeowner Kathy Mutz. “We wanted a roomy kitchen where more than one cook could be in there at a time and have space to move around. We also wanted the room to be adjacent to the great room and bar area where we entertain a lot.”
Before deciding on a specific material, the homeowner considered several stone options. “I learned all about the surfaces as far as maintenance and durability were concerned,” she said, adding that she kept finding herself drawn to granite.
