The Second Annual Moraga Country Club kitchen tour will be held on Thursday, October 1st from 4 to 7pm. The event will feature five fabulous kitchen remodels and benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The kitchens are a delight to see. The sizes and styles vary greatly and showcase the latest styles and trends. Wine and appetizers will be served at each of the homes.
Moraga Country Club provides a great venue for the event because all of the homes on tour are in close proximity to one another. It is fun for Moraga Country Club homeowners to see what others have done with a similar home, but it is equally fun for others to see these exceptional kitchens, and experience some of the finest homes in Moraga Country Club.
This year, all five kitchens were completed within the last 18 months – be careful, some were completed so recently that the paint might still be wet! Themes range from traditional to modern, and include a wide variety of materials.
Sue Olsen, a very active real estate broker in Lamorinda and in the Country Club, was inspired to put the first tour together in 2008 when she noticed that a large number of neighbors were visiting her open houses just to ‘get ideas’ for their own homes. While neighbors are always welcome at open houses, Sue realized that they were not always seeing the best kitchens with the newest designs.
Tickets are $20 per person, are fully tax deductable and are available at Across the Way, Moraga Country Club office or through the tour website at www.MCCHomeTour.com. Carpooling is encouraged. Take advantage of the large parking lot near the driving range on St. Andrews Drive to meet up with friends and tour together.
A raffle will also be a held as part of the event. Prizes include Golf foursomes at Moraga Country Club, Golf and Tennis lessons, Pilates instruction at Star Pilates, a magnum of Opus One, a $75 Amoroma gift certificate, design consultations and more. Raffle tickets will be 5 for $10.
