“When shopping for a home in Coronado/San Diego I highly suggest working with the Nelson Riddle team. I worked Jim Nelson for over 6 years looking for the perfect place that would accommodate my budget and check all the boxes. I really cant believe he actually kept taking my calls? He never pressured me, and it never seemed like he was getting aggravated with my almost buys. After the sale he has become a great resource for any questions and all in all just a great guy. When looking start with Jim, then make your decision.”
“We were very lucky to have Jim and Debbie representing us in our home purchase. We met Jim through a referral and from the day of our first meeting to our date of closing was only 53 days. We had a very specific set of needs and Jim knew immediately which house on the market would work for us. Once our offer was accepted, our transaction encountered a number of challenging circumstances along the way, on both the buyer and seller side, and Jim was able to keep the process moving and on course. At every step of the way it was clear that Jim's focus was working toward our best interest. I was very impressed with his knowledge and work ethic and would definitely recommend the Nelson Riddle team to anyone in need of Real Estate expertise.”
“We have bought and sold many homes over the past few decades. We have never had a better experience than we had with Nelson Riddle team. The house sold for top dollar, the selling process was almost effortless, their marketing materials are top-notch, and they do it all with a sense of urgency, easy manner, and with a smile. Do use.”

Secluded on a generous 10,982-squarefoot lot, warm modern vibes abound in this thoughtful layout with an open floor plan and seamless integration of indoor/outdoor space. A Nana folding glass wall and oversized Western windows bring the outdoors in while flooding the home with natural light. Exposed wood, Viking appliances, warm wood cabinetry, and Brazilian granite countertops, lend an air of luxury to this minimalist retreat. The sophisticated layout of three bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a den is complemented by an abundance of outdoor entertaining spaces in a resort-like atmosphere where the solar-heated pool and spa enjoy a verdant backdrop of trees and a captivating lighted water feature. The Viking kitchen becomes a focal point for culinary enthusiasts, providing a functional space to entertain. Anchored by a center island, custom white oak cabinetry and warm Brazilian granite countertops provide storage and an under-counter microwave. A butler’s pantry, discreetly tucked away, serves as the perfect complement to the open living areas, offering convenience without compromising on the minimalist aesthetic. The master suite beckons relaxation, framed by two oversized French doors that gracefully open to the expansive rear of the property. A spacious soaking tub, glassed-in walk-in shower, and generously sized walk-in closet create the perfect place to unwind when the day is done. Not to be forgotten and creating a lasting first impression, the gated courtyard entry provides a private grassy enclave with a gazing pond, creating a uniquely calming atmosphere that sets the stage for what lies beyond. Lastly, plans exist for an expansion and renovation to create a two-story 4,200 ESF/5 BR/4.5 BA with an office, exercise room, and den.

What are the elements that make a next-level kitchen? Recently, the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury team turned to the world’s best and brightest real estate pros (Luxury Property Specialists, of course) for an answer to that question for Best of the Best 2023, a guide to the most desirable amenities and features that define today’s most luxurious homes. Not surprisingly, Luxury Property Specialists said that “a chef’s kitchen with unique features” ranked high on their affluent clients’ lists for must-haves.
As for what qualifies as a unique feature, that’s a matter of personal taste, but the most soughtafter kitchens tend to have these qualities in common:
• A double kitchen island with ample space for cooking, gathering and entertaining
• Stylish oven ranges and designer appliances
• Statement range hoods with pops of color and other one-of-a-kind touches
“Kitchens are the heart of the home, no matter the price point,” said Michael Altneu, vice president, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury. “Luxury consumers want their kitchens to be places that are not only high-functioning spaces for cooking, but also nurturing spaces for connecting with family and friends.”
We present some of our favorite statement kitchens that offer the perfect dose of culinary magic. Altogether, they represent the best of the best kitchens on the market right now from the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury network—from a restaurant-inspired masterpiece in Beverly Hills to a crisp, clean white contemporary open kitchen format in New England.
The sleek and modernist chef’s kitchen in this Ralph Choeff designed waterfront estate, on guard-gated Hibiscus Island, epitomizes the essence of Miami Beach luxury living. Blurring the lines between indoors and out, the open kitchen delivers the wow factor on every front. Balancing the stunning water views that extend straight out to the water, a warm and soothing palette of materials communicates effortless beachy calm. Sandy-hued travertine countertops, backsplash and center island with eat-in seating for five is juxtaposed against streamlined appliances integrated into custom Dolce Vita Italian cabinetry, including a Miele induction cooktop, three sinks, two dishwashers, Miele refrigerator/freezer, double Miele ovens, a steam oven and a microwave/oven.
The elegant French bistro-like ambiance of this Beverly Hills kitchen gave us double vision in more ways than one – starting with the mirrored panel accents and ending with two gorgeous kitchen islands. Both islands serve as centerpieces for a choose-your-own culinary experience. Each island contains its own sink and access to top-of-the-line gourmet cooking appliances where guests can watch the chef in action, but where they differ are the seating options: one island offers bar stool seating and the other has a built-in banquet for in-kitchen dining. For more formal affairs, there’s an adjacent formal dining room and even an al fresco setting awaiting your diners.
Nothing says “of-the-moment luxury” like a clean, crisp white kitchen, open to a dining area and family room. Adorned with two islands (one with seating and a prep sink while the other has open counters and lower cabinets for storage), effortless quartz and classic stainless steel Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, this Newton, Mass.kitchen was created in 2023 as part of a new build that sought to bring together contemporary design and a flexible floorplan that could adapt to a modern-day family’s changing needs.
While it’s been said that New Yorkers tend to spend as little time as possible where they actually sleep, the chef’s kitchen in this fashionably renovated 4,412-square-foot NoMad quadruplex penthouse might make them think twice. A built-in wall of Sub-Zero refrigerators (complete with a custom wine refrigerator) has been integrated into custom wood cabinetry as a sunroom-like wall of windows offers a striking visual counterpoint. Glassos countertops, an artisan tile backsplash and an oversized white marble island topped by classic brass pendant lighting lend an understated elegance. Added bonus: a private outdoor seating area and entertaining space are accessed from the kitchen.
Rustic wood beams and stonework in this modern Mediterranean home in Pebble Beach keep the kitchen grounded in the historic past while two Bosch French door wall ovens and a stainless steel Sub-Zero move it refreshingly into the present. An extra spacious breakfast bar/ island invites conversation as the cook prepares a meal. In the distance, natural light spills in through floor-to-ceiling windows from the dining and living room and expansive outdoor living spaces. A location along famed 17 Mile Drive doesn’t hurt either.
The timeless sense of style, old-world sensibility, and the je ne sais quoi of French provincial style have long captured the hearts of interior designers and homeowners alike. In this gated 20-acre waterfront Maryland estate just minutes from downtown Annapolis and less than an hour from Washington, D.C., the echoes of a French manor reign throughout its over 23,000 square feet, right down to its most functional space: the kitchen. Two large marble-topped islands will inspire your inner-Julia Child as ornate cabinetry, mouldings and a built-in buffet give it an aristocratic-yet-lived-in quality, and French doors lead out to expansive verandas and views overlooking the Severn River.
What’s the perfect complement to unobstructed Pacific Ocean views? Answer: a meticulously detailed kitchen that blurs the lines between indoors and out. This exquisitely executed kitchen in Newport Beach captures the essence of its oceanfront existence with a breezy layout that opens to a living room, dining room and courtyard, and an oversized center island topped with sleek white slab Caesarstone and surrounded by European white oak cabinetry in a custom gray stain. Other statement-making touches include a state-of-the-art filtration system, multiple refrigeration drawer pullouts, a built-in espresso machine and a full prep kitchen with a hidden powder bath for staff use. Designed for the sophisticated entertainer who wants to take full advantage of its Southern California coastal setting, the custom manse also offers an additional full kitchen in the garage that can be used for larger catered events.

Picturesque Nelson, BC, is set roughly halfway between Vancouver on Canada’s west coast and Calgary in the Canadian Rockies. Nestled in the Selkirk Mountains and set on the west arm of Kootenay Lake, the city of 11,000 residents is home (and vacation home) to people who love life outdoors in all four seasons.
Territory Summary
Nelson’s stunning natural architecture is bejewelled by the town itself—its waterfront, some 350 heritage buildings, a restored streetcar, a thriving arts and artisan scene and a rich offering of restaurants and live music.
“It’s a small town, but it’s got a big town feel,” says Kevin Arcuri, coowner of Coldwell Banker Rosling Real Estate in Nelson. “People are continually amazed with what Nelson, for its size, offers.”
The city brings anglers, hikers, single-track bike riders, skiers, photographers, snowshoers, paddle boarders, kayakers, beachcombers, gardeners, wildlife lovers, mountain climbers, artists, artisans, foodies and mountain types who either call it home, or who are counting the days until they can get back.
Nelson is an attraction in itself a beautiful, bustling community tucked into the lush Selkirk Mountains.
