Inside San Antonio’s Most Luxurious Kitchens: 6 High-End Kitchens For the Discerning Cook

A kitchen is where many homeowners spend large amounts of time, often being referred to as "the heart of the home". And while designs will vary from kitchen to kitchen, there are particular design elements that exude luxury wherever they are installed. Whether you spend your time cooking, entertaining, or just chatting with your family, you want your kitchen to seamlessly blend style, luxury, and functionality to fit your lifestyle. See how these incredible kitchens, found right here in San Antonio, achieve just that.

7 Kings Manor                                                                $1,150,000

Large, decorative, custom islands are elements often found in an up-scale kitchen. Depending on the square footage available in the kitchen, the size of an island will vary but is nonetheless a valuable addition as it offers additional space for food preparation as well as an area for guests to mingle while a meal is being prepared. Custom islands found in luxury homes often feature details such as decorative legs, multi-faceted design elements, drawers, open shelving, and space to incorporate a sink, cooktop, wine fridge or microwave. 

1 Devon Wood Ln                                                                                      $989,900

High-end appliances are designed with equal amounts of functionality and design in mind and tend to exude luxury in comparison to their lower-end counterparts. Gas ranges are considered standard in the luxury real estate market and are often thought to be ideal for their ability to quickly cook food at an even and consistent temperature. Other luxury appliance features include multiple burners, convection ovens, warming drawers, and the ability to cook multiple dishes at once. 

28565 Verde Mountain Trail                                                              $2,699,000

An amenity not often considered, an abundance of natural light provided by windows can be a lavish feature in a kitchen.  Kitchens smaller in size are often not afforded the luxury of large windows as they tend to take up coveted space typically reserved for upper cabinetry. A large kitchen, however, depending on its location within a home, can often accommodate the luxury of having both windows and upper cabinetry. The result is an airy, inviting space ideal for hosting family and friends.

24511 Cliff Line                                                                                     $1,499,000

Proper lighting is essential to any kitchen as it serves many different functions. Kitchens require task lighting to define prep work areas as well as softer mood lighting to create ambiance for the island, seating, and entertaining areas. Great mood lighting can be achieved several ways, perhaps the most popular being with a fabulous statement fixture over an island or eating enclave.

2 Privada Yesa                                                                 $1,450,000

Because lighting has become an integral part of kitchen design, trends are moving away from simple recessed lights and adding amazing lighting fixtures, both antique and contemporary.  Where simple pendants would have typically been used, different lighting elements are now being considered in many different places within a kitchen.

306 Berkley Oak                                                                                  $1,399,000
