Why is kitchen island different in North County Inland San Diego?
Escondido, San Marcos, and Poway kitchens are large enough to support a full island with a waterfall or mitered quartz top, drawer banks, and a breakfast bar overhang. We build with full-overlay shaker or inset doors, a quartz top, and proper structural support for the overhang. Many homes in this region also add a prep sink or a built-in range to the island.
