Design Dilemma

Need advice about either a 36" or 48" Wolf range!

We're building a summer home (to be a retirement home someday) and have an 11-foot run where I wanted to install the Wolf 48" range with the two ovens. Our builder and kitchen designer thinks the 36" Wolf range would be a better fit (the 48" they feel is too big for the space). No room for a wall oven, so do you think the 36" plus a warming drawer will suffice? Had my heart set on the 48" but trying to be flexible! Thanks for any feedback!

    How much do you bake? I would get a stacking wall oven and a separate range before I would do a 48" wolf - that is a big big element in a summer / retirement home. Unless you bake and roast regularly . .. follow their advice.

    Posting a snapshot of the floor plan for that area would help a lot. That said, I would just think long and hard if the two full ovens are really necessary. I would say that vast majority of people that buy a unit that big rarely utilize it's full potential, and even then on a scant few occasions.

    Thank you both for your sound advice, I will heed the advice of my builder and kitchen designer! It would not be often that I would need both ovens. Thanks!

    i use 2 ovens at the same time very frequently, at least once a week. on thanksgiving day or christmas i wish i had 3.

    i have no need of a 48" range, but enjoy my 36" to its fullest.

    you know what you really need and whats for show.
