Thoughtful design choices and practical solutions highlight the cabinetry throughout this beautifully designed home, balancing aesthetics with functionality and maximizing stunning views from practically every window.
The kitchen showcases sleek base cabinets without uppers, enhancing natural light and creating an airy ambiance. Large windows take the place of traditional upper cabinets, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Rancho Bernardo hills and countryside. Cherry hardwood cabinets are paired with red oak flooring, with the cherry wood custom-stained to complement the character of the floors.
The kitchen includes a large island with storage on all sides, an under-counter microwave, and panel-ready appliances for a sleek look. There are two dishwashers and strategically placed storage areas to enhance functionality. Despite having numerous appliances (eight in total), the design effectively hides them, maintaining a clean aesthetic. Custom elements such as the range hood and thoughtful storage solutions enhance the kitchen’s efficiency and visual appeal.
Custom cherry entertainment centers flank the fireplace in this large living area, with features like peninsula display cabinets creating room divisions. Pocketing bifold doors hide the TV when not in use.

A compact, fully functional bar area includes under-counter refrigeration, wine storage, and concealed liquor storage.
In the butler’s pantry adjoining the dining room, cherry wood cabinetry continues the home’s design theme. This space features a pass-through with an awning-style door that can close to separate the pantry from the dining room, allowing for discreet service during events.
Unique designs include a powder bathroom with cherry burl cabinetry as a focal point and a hall bathroom with simple shaker-style cherry wood cabinets. The powder bathroom features a window-centered sink to take advantage of exterior views.
The home office includes flanking cabinetry on either side of a fireplace, large legal file drawers, and an exposed printer on a large work surface, balancing practicality with aesthetics.
