And the electric range shoved into the island looks ridiculous and makes it impossible to have a second person in the kitchen. And a bench full of kibble just sounds so gross. It must reek.

This is a 1500 sf pre war townhouse that the owners have maximized. There is a large prep counter between the kitchen and living room, and the built in desk is in the living room.

The sale is pending so someone liked it

Are you the owner? Do you need cooking lessons? The kitchen looks very cute but totally disfunctional for anyone who ever wants to cook a meal!

DP. I live in Fairlington in a similar townhouse. Many people have opened the walls and put in a breakfast bar like these people did. I use the breakfast bar for preparing meals. I have two kids so I cook a lot. While I would love to have a big kitchen with a huge island which you and many others have, I can cook anything in my kitchen.

I could afford a $425,000 townhouse a few years ago but not a nice house in North Arlington. I don’t know what pleasure it gives you in making fun of people who don’t have big kitchens, but I hope you enjoy yourself.

Calm down. Posters are pointing out the (a?) discrepancy. It's obvious they put a lot of $ into the house, but the design is terrible. It's obvious the owners don't cook a lot, just by looking at that island. No one is criticizing the size of the house. Also, speaking as someone who cooks from scratch all the time and is an accomplished cook, you don't need a large kitchen to cook. Check out Alison Roman's old cooking stories-- her old kitchen was tiny.

You need to direct this to the posters who claim you can’t cook in a small kitchen. As I said, I cook very well in a small kitchen
To add to your horror, my children share a bedroom and go to the local elementary school with a high number of FARMs students.

— a South Arlington poor.

Thanks, Captain Obvious. The question is why show it with loose dog food milling about instead of with something like rolls wrapping paper.

Because then people would make fun of them for using wrapping paper instead of gift bags.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, DCUM is a blood sport for marginal people.

Stage it with a lone magazine, and a card game, or anything inert that could be used at the table. But why show it off at all? It’s barely storage, about 4” deep when most the volume of the bench does something else.

Fairlington resident - and the mice and bugs are real.

But my bigger question on this one - how the heck to they keep their dog from going over to the bench and not scratching the heck out of it or doing whatever they can to get into it ?
Our dog would find that and stuff himself in the time it would take us to go upstairs and come back down
