I don't know dimensions, but check out Bertazzoni ranges and GE Monogram integrated refrigerators.

I believe KA built-in fridges are a lot less than Sub-Zero. If you don't insist on a color range, you'll have more options.

Built -in fridges all cost about the same for the same size. At over 5grand for 36" model I don't consider a few hundred bucks to be a deal breaker which is what the spread is. 5k is already a lot of dough. I'd buy based on local availability and who has a experienced technician close by.

Good rec on the B-zonni range- lot of bang for the buck. But..... you need to take into account reliability - which they have little track record here. Service network is also a concern, especially in a rental. DO you want to listen to your tenant when a thingamajig goes out, you have to wait a week for a tech to show, he: "haven't seen much of this model" (read none, cept the pictures), and the said thingamajig will take another month to get in country from Italy.

You are keeping this for a rental? Long-term pr short term rental? As in, people visiting for weeks or months or long-term as with a lease. If short-term, I sure wouldn't put much money into it, because people will eat out most of the time.

If short term, look for pro-style things at Sears. KitchenAid and Frigidaire. I sure wouldn't sink a lot of money into a rental.

I would look at KA and GE. They have the look and should be a bit cheaper. I agree with just going with a SS range to open up more choices.

The rental will be short term (ie a few months at a time) for engineers and other professionals in the oil industry, typically with families. It's a four bedroom townhouse.

They pay well but expect a great deal. I have to buy a professional sized built in (ie tall like sub zero) because I don't want to spend the money to remove the brick (and frankly it's really a nice feature). But I'd like to avoid the seven grand I spent our a sub zero for our place.

In the long run we may sell the place, but again, in this neighborhood they'll expect to at least look higher end :) I'm not sure I can even get Bertzatolli in Alaska, but I'll do some research. I'm not worried about getting my money back if I can keep to below $15,000 in appliances in the kitchen. I expect the rest of the work will be around $85,000 and want to have a better figure so we can write that into our offer (ie we're low balling because it's in bad shape!)

If we do "short term" it would be a minimum of 30 days because we don't want to do the hotel tax thing...and it's against the rules in the associations. But here in Anchorage there's a great need for higher end short term, furnished etc., places. For instance I'm paying $2000 a month for a 1970's duplex in the hood, on a month by month rental because our house is still under construction. So, long story short :) That's why we want to put nicer things in it (we'll be asking between $4000 and $5000 a month in rent in the summer months). You'd expect a lot for that wouldn't you :) Even if you don't use it LOL

Igloochic:

I would recommend doing the entire thing in GE Monogram appliances. They should be easier to get serviced in Alaska than some of the more exotic brands, everything will match and look professional, and they really are nice appliances. You may be able to cut a deal and get package pricing if you do all your appliances in this line. I would think that it would be nice to have the DF range in a rental so that you can run the self-clean feature on the oven(s) if a tenant leaves a mess. If you research GE Monogram on this board, you will find very few complaints. Are they the very best in every category? No, but they are highly-regarded and the price point is a bit better, especially for a high-end rental. When I was shopping, their DF range was a top contender along with the Bluestar and the Wolf. I've had a Monogram BI fridge before and was very pleased; I bought a SZ this time only because I got a great deal on a floor model. I ended up with the Monoram pro-style wall oven and matching Advantium, am thrilled with both, and am glad I didn't go with the Thermador oven. As for DW's, it's a rental and GE DW's do a good job. Maybe not as good as Miele or Bosch but you won't have to deal with cleaning a filter, etc. And this brand, again, should be easy to get service on.

I'd second the Monogram suggestion. A built-in 36" over/under can be had for less than $5000 (I got mine for $3100, but that was on close-out). The 36" gas ranges are very nice. Add in an Advantium 120, and a DW and you'd have pretty much everything covered, for far less than $15,000... probably closer to $10,000 if you could swing some deals.

Does Anchorage have a "scratch and dent" high end appliance place? (Probably not... but...) they are a goldmine for projects like this.

We shopped around extensively for our current renovation project. We ended up picking a 48" Electrolux Icon range (Made by Dacor), a 36" Monogram over/under fridge freezer (built-in), a 30" Monogram Advantium 240, a 30" Monogram Warming Drawer, and a Best by Broan Hood with 1100 CFM inline blower. We already had a nice SS DW for the kitchen, but we added a nice GE DW for the butler's pantry. Total Cost: $12,500 (Tax and shipping included).

I realize everything is more expensive in AK, and that some of the shipping charges may be much higher, but $15,000 should be very doable.

Thanks all. I did some research and it seems like GE is a good option. I'm still thinking we need to do a colored range to make the "old" place feel like it is a new kitchen but if we save enough on the other appliances we could keep close to budget and pick up a Cluny.

This is the space I'm working with:
{{gwi:1464998}}

I just think that a stainless range will make it look dated, but if I put in a splashy red range it will make the bricks feel planned, and really, they're quite cool.

I'm off to research more GE :) Thanks all

You also may want to take a look at the Kenmore Pro Line.

I think a 36-48" stainless rangetop, properly lit, would look great in that spot. Of course, that is totally a matter of individual tastes.

Is there lighting / ventilation under the arch?

I can't say I know the market you're looking at, but I really think a Lacanche and Subzero are way overkill for a short-term rental unit. Have you talked to any realtors about what might be expected in such a unit? I think you could save quite a bit of money and still have a great rental unit. By the way, I think the brick looks great.

Under the arch appears to be the grandfather to vent a hood LOL but it's covered up somewhat with a pie plate. We'll take that insert out and put in a vent a hood.

Weissman, we're not only looking to the short term rental issue, but for future sale. I'm familiar with these units (we have friends who own a couple of them) which is why I want to keep to the upper end of appliances. But I'm thinking...maybe an Aga might work. I can get that locally and it will work well in the space. I think they're cheaper than Lacanche...but have research to do there.

I'd put in a black Viking AG range in that brick enclosure. The black color will look great with the brick, and give it a more vintage feel, and the Viking name will carry the most weight with upscale renters and for resale.

I know, most of us TKO and appliance obsessers know that there's much juicier ranges out there than Vikings, but most renters and home buyers have fallen victim to Viking's advertising.
