The survey was based on responses from more than 3,000 recent or prospective home buyers.

More than four of every 10 buyers said the double sink is so essential in the kitchen that they would be unlikely to purchase a home without it.

More than half of home buyers surveyed rated 20 of 30 kitchen features either as essential or desirable.
