“Whether it’s a walk-in pantry with an extra sink and a wine refrigerator or just a cleverly designed cabinet space, a well-organized pantry can be a cook’s best friend.” Houzz.com featured one of Witt Construction’s award winning homes from the 2011 Saratoga Showcase of Homes in “80 Pretty and Practical Pantries.” With cabinets made of soapstone and reclaimed barn wood, this custom-built Saratoga Lake home features a walk-in pantry boasting a wine cooler, dry good storage space, endless shelving space, and plenty of counter space for meal preparation. More recently, clients have been interested in walk-in pantries for their new homes. Client Coordinator, Erica Johnson, said that “the majority of clients are requesting panties in their new homes; they are looking for that extra storage space and preparation area. The pantries are wonderful for people who like to entertain at their homes. It allows for the home owner to have a space to prepare snacks and drinks while keeping the kitchen, dining and living areas clean and clutter free during a party.”

This 2011 Saratoga Showcase of homes award winner is a European-California-influenced custom home with sweeping sunset view of Saratoga Lake featuring reclaimed cypress, stucco and stone exterior; master bath spa; showcase kitchen, dining and living areas; office/library; yoga studio; gracious entertainment center; veranda.
