Five kitchens with integrated appliances that make a space seem larger and less cluttered

For many, the kitchen is the heart of the home, so it only makes sense that the room be well organized and pleasing to both cook and congregate in. Sadly, that's not always the case in a New York City kitchen. Often miniscule in size, many tend to lack in aesthetics, which is why the integrated kitchen makes so much sense. When the appliances match the cabinetry it makes for a very seamless, functional and smart looking space—even if it should happen to be the size of a closet. Here, some prime examples. 

At 180 West Houston (priced at $3.750 million) double Miele wall ovens, a Liebherr refrigerator and a Sub-Zero wine fridge disappear into the white cabinetry, creating the illusion of a roomier kitchen.

SubZero and Bosch appliances blend seamlessly into the black cabinetry of the kitchen of this two bedroom, two bathroom condo at 144 North 8^th Street (yours for $1.675 million).

In this one bedroom loft at 252 Seventh Avenue (on the market for $3.1 million) a German engineered Balthaup/B3 system includes a Gaggenau five-burner cooktop, 36” built-in oven, energy efficient dishwasher, built-in wine cooler, recessed coffee machine plus warming and storage trays.

Finally, this kitchen within a three bedroom, three bathroom prewar loft at 320 East 57^th Street (listed at $2.5 million) is equipped with caesarstone countertops, an eat-in peninsula, custom white cabinetry, a huge pantry, and a suite of high-end appliances that include a fully-integrated Sub Zero refrigerator and wall-mounted Miele ovens.
