After their house was destroyed by the wildfires that swept across San Diego in October 2007, News 8 Anchor Larry Himmel and his family found themselves without their home of 20 years and everything in it. The Jackson Design and Remodeling team, fused Southwestern and contemporary design and capitalized on the property's amazing scenic views. The design features an open floor plan with a lower level living space that overlooks the pool. A gourmet kitchen integrates modern function with interesting textural choices, such as Knotty Alder cabinetry in two tones, quartz and granite countertops, porcelain tile evoking rusty metal, natural slate tile, stainless steel appliances, and hickory distressed hardwood floors. The master bath beckons with a soaking tub and full body shower system. The finished Himmel home is a beautiful space that embraces outdoor living and creates a sense of warmth and family.
