This was a redo of a 60s kitchen in a small ranch we bought a few years ago.
Now we're looking to further downsize and both small houses and condos seem to be induction.
I love the cooktop. It's got 5 burners with a large one in the center.
It's also handy as the wall oven is on the opposite wall from the cooktop so we each have room. I like the precision of the electric stove for baking, etc., but also love the gas cooktop for quick dinners.
We may end up just staying here for several reasons...don't want to leave Maine. Mass would be the other choice, but pricey...
