Every memorable home has a gravitational center, and at 17230 San Lorenzo Circle that center is the kitchen. Designed with the home chef and the devoted host in mind, this gourmet space is built around a custom blue waterfall island, framed by sleek white cabinetry, and finished with elegant marble. It is a room that invites you to cook, gather, and linger, and it sets the tone for the entire open floor plan.
The Blue Island: A Statement in Color
The custom blue island is the first thing the eye finds, and it is easy to see why. Against a palette of white and marble, the deep blue acts as a confident accent, adding personality without overwhelming the room. The waterfall design carries the surface down the sides in one continuous gesture, giving the island a sculptural, furniture-like quality. It serves as preparation station, buffet, and gathering point all at once, drawing people toward the center of the room exactly as a great island should.
White Cabinetry and Marble Finishes
Sleek white cabinetry keeps the kitchen bright and timeless, reflecting natural light and providing a clean backdrop for the island's color. Marble finishes add veining, depth, and a sense of permanence. Together, these materials produce a look that feels both current and enduring, which matters when you are investing in a space you will use every day. Light surfaces also make it simple to introduce your own accents, from seasonal flowers to curated serveware, without clashing with the architecture.
Designed for Entertaining
Because the kitchen opens into the surrounding living and dining areas, the cook is never isolated from the gathering. Consider how the layout supports a range of occasions:
- Weeknight meals, with conversation flowing between kitchen and dining area.
- Holiday gatherings, with the island serving as a natural buffet.
- Casual get-togethers, where guests gather around the island with a drink in hand.
- Indoor-outdoor hosting, with glass patio doors leading toward the garden.
A Workspace That Respects the Cook
A gourmet kitchen is judged by how it works as much as by how it looks. The generous island provides abundant surface area for preparation, while the cabinetry offers storage for cookware, pantry items, and entertaining pieces. When you tour the home, we encourage you to stand where you would stand while cooking and notice the movement between the island, the cabinets, and the dining space. A well-planned kitchen feels intuitive, and this one rewards that kind of walkthrough with an easy, natural rhythm.
Finishes That Reward Everyday Use
Marble and white cabinetry are beautiful, but they also shape how a kitchen feels over years of living. Light surfaces make it easy to see what you are doing while chopping, plating, or setting out a buffet, and a cohesive palette keeps the room calm even when it is busy. The island's color gives you a natural place to anchor decor, whether that means a fruit bowl, a cluster of candles, or a row of cookbooks. During your visit, notice how the materials catch daylight at different hours, since the kitchen's character can change from the soft glow of morning to the warmer tones of late afternoon.
Pairing the Kitchen with the Wine Cellar
Culinary enthusiasts will also appreciate the custom glass wine cellar beneath the stairs, which we will explore in an upcoming post. Imagine selecting a bottle, returning to the island, and serving a meal with everything within easy reach. The kitchen and cellar together create a rare pairing for anyone who treats food and wine as part of daily life rather than occasional indulgence.
Making It Your Own
Because the home is presented defurnished, you can picture stools along the island, a favorite table in the dining area, and your own style on every surface. Specific appliance details, dimensions, and specifications should be confirmed with the listing agent during your visit.
