10 Sacramento Area Homes With Amazing Kitchens

We spend lots of time, energy and money making our homes — particularly the living area — an inviting gathering place for family and friends. And it becomes just that! But you have to admit that the kitchen and dining area naturally become a place where life really happens as a family.

It’s where you start your day with coffee, pack the kids’ lunches, exchange conversation while you prepare dinner, enjoy your meals, sip on a glass of wine and do the dishes. People tend to gravitate to this activity hub within the home, no matter the occasion.

That’s why it’s important to have a kitchen that you enjoy spending time in. To get some inspiration for our own spaces, let’s take a look at some of our favorite kitchens in the Sacramento area — with pristine appliances, expansive layouts and gorgeous details.

Mid-Century Modern Kitchen in Golf Course Home

This stunning home within the prestigious El Macero Country Club overlooks the golf course and is a short distance from all the amenities of Davis. We adore the mid-century modern look in every room — especially evident in the bright and contemporary kitchen! The clean lines of the island make quite the statement, and the combination of natural material and white brings the space to life.

Masculine Kitchen in Historic Arden Oaks Home

This Arden Oaks home was originally built as a personal residence in 1951 for the master architect and builder, Frank Squeaky Williams. Throughout the home, you’ll find dramatic redwood beamed ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, four fireplaces, and plenty of other surprises — like the ultra-modern sunroom and full outdoor kitchen. The kitchen inside blows us away as well, with its high-end finishes and masculine motif.

Stunning Kitchen Connected to Pool in One-Story Wonder

This spacious one-story home has one of the most beautiful kitchens we’ve seen in awhile. We love the Carrara marble and walnut counters, the cabinets built by Feist (a local company!), the gourmet appliances, the white subway tiles and the overall bright and cheerful look. The kitchen is also conveniently located next to the back door leading to the home’s pool, and has a connected dining area, which provides the perfect setup for a summer BBQ.

Mediterranean Kitchen in Home With Vineyard Views

This Mediterranean masterpiece in the Serrano Country Club was built by Jordan Homes, featuring a chef’s kitchen with professional appliances opening up to a great room with exposed-beam ceilings. This home has an overall Tuscan feel as well, maximized with vineyard views and rustic details.

High-Ceiling Kitchen in Auburn Estate

Speaking of Tuscan, this spectacular custom estate in Auburn provides a cozy, romantic and European feel throughout. The kitchen is a showstopper, with its high-end stainless steel appliances, granite counters, enormous island, walk-in pantries and custom cabinetry. We love the exposed beams and unique light fixtures overhead!

Modern Yet Traditional Kitchen in Stately Sacramento Home

This stately home designed by James Plumb is composed of only the finest details and architectural details in every room, and that certainly includes the kitchen. We love the combination of modern design with some traditional features, as can be found on the base of the island. The kitchen includes a built-in wet bar, wine refrigerator and a walk-in pantry!

Open Gourmet Kitchen in Granite Bay Home

Open-floor plans are all the rage, and you can see why when you check out this Granite Bay home’s kitchen. The large gourmet kitchen with two dishwashers, double ovens, and rustic wooden beams, is connected to the dining and living areas, making it a wonderful gathering place for the family and guests.

Rustic Tall-Ceiling Kitchen in Lakeside Auburn Home

This Auburn home on a lake hosts a pretty unique kitchen, with high ceilings and an open layout. After preparing a meal in this gorgeous kitchen, go waterskiing and fishing from your own private dock in the summer, or warm up in the jacuzzi during the colder months. This home is surrounded by large pines, making each day feel like you’re vacationing at a cabin in the woods.

Elegant Kitchen in El Dorado Hills Home

This kitchen is an extension of the immaculate quality found in every corner of this El Dorado Hills home. The elegant wooden cabinetry, the granite countertops and the huge windows overlooking the lush and private backyard. Speaking of the backyard, there is another kitchen outside near the pool with a fireplace and covered seating area!

Contemporary Kitchen in Auburn Home Surrounded by Nature

There is truly nothing like this contemporary Auburn home surrounded by over 38 acres of land overlooking Folsom Lake. As we tour this home, we love the white birch and maple wood features, the soaring ceilings, unique architectural design and of course — the kitchen. Cook a meal for guests in this simple and sleek kitchen and serve them just feet away in the connected dining and living areas!
