        "text": "A full kitchen typically features standard full-size appliances, extensive cabinetry, a full range, and dedicated 240-volt electrical circuits, whereas a kitchenette relies on compact elements like an under-counter refrigerator, sink, microwave, and small countertop appliances. Choosing a kitchenette saves significant square footage, lowers plumbing and electrical demands, and may align more smoothly with single-family zoning codes that restrict secondary full kitchens. However, if the occupant plans to prepare daily meals independently, a full kitchen provides necessary storage and cooking capacity. Determining daily meal preparation habits helps you select the right configuration.",
