12’7″ Outdoor kitchen With Diana Royal Stacked Stone

Elegant Outdoor Kitchens Before and After Concept to Completion

12’7″ Custom Outdoor Kitchen Featuring Diana Royal Stacked Stone

This 12’7″ custom outdoor kitchen is a perfect example of how thoughtful design, premium appliances, and timeless materials come together to create a functional and elegant outdoor living space. Built using the same proven construction methods as our Pulte Stellar Model at Verdana Village, this project reflects our commitment to durability, performance, and refined aesthetics—ideal for Southwest Florida living.

A Clean, Functional Layout Designed for Entertaining

Spanning just over twelve and a half feet, this outdoor kitchen was carefully planned to maximize efficiency without feeling crowded. Every component has a purpose, allowing the homeowner to cook, prep, serve, and entertain with ease.

At the center of the layout is a Blaze 32” LTE Series Grill, paired with a Blaze 24” griddle plate, offering versatility for everything from weeknight meals to weekend gatherings. Below the grill, a Blaze 32” drawer and door combo provides convenient storage, while a narrow roll-out trash drawer keeps the space clean and organized.

Premium Stainless Steel Features

This kitchen includes several custom stainless steel elements that elevate both performance and appearance:

  • Trade-Wind 36” Pyramid-Style Hood
    with internal blowers for effective smoke and heat ventilation
  • Custom stainless steel stack chase
    for a clean, professional finish
  • Custom 3D stainless backsplash
    behind the grill (36” W x 36” H x 1 1/4” D), adding depth and a modern focal point

An undermount sink with a high-arc faucet and built-in soap dispenser makes food prep and cleanup effortless. Below the sink, a single vertical access door allows easy access to plumbing while maintaining a streamlined look.

Outdoor-Rated Convenience

To complete the space, a 5.5 CU FT Blaze outdoor-rated refrigerator was installed with a matching trim kit for a built-in appearance. This keeps drinks and ingredients close at hand, reducing trips indoors and enhancing the outdoor cooking experience.

Diana Royal Stacked Stone Façade

The exterior of the kitchen is wrapped in Diana Royal Stacked Stone, a sophisticated stone veneer that brings warmth, texture, and visual interest to the design. The neutral tones of Diana Royal Stacked Stone pair beautifully with both stainless steel appliances and natural stone surfaces, making it an excellent choice for Florida outdoor kitchens.

Beyond its appearance, Diana Royal Stacked Stone is a durable material well-suited for outdoor environments, offering long-lasting performance while maintaining a high-end look.

Level 3 Fantasy Brown Granite Countertops

Topping the kitchen is Level 3 Fantasy Brown granite, chosen for its natural movement and earthy color variation. The granite adds contrast against the Diana Royal Stacked Stone façade while remaining timeless and elegant. An 8” tall granite backsplash completes the countertop installation, tying the entire design together and providing easy maintenance behind prep areas.

Built Using Proven Construction Methods

This outdoor kitchen was built using the same construction standards and methods showcased in our Pulte Stellar Model at Verdana Village, ensuring structural integrity and longevity. From the internal framing to the finished stone and granite, every detail follows best practices developed through years of experience building outdoor kitchens in Southwest Florida.

A Timeless Outdoor Kitchen Design

With its balanced layout, premium Blaze appliances, custom stainless steel features, and the elegant look of Diana Royal Stacked Stone, this 12’7” outdoor kitchen is designed to stand the test of time. It’s a space built for cooking, entertaining, and enjoying the Florida lifestyle year-round.

If you’re considering a custom outdoor kitchen with stacked stone, granite countertops, and professional-grade appliances, this project is a perfect example of what’s possible when design and craftsmanship come together.

Planning Ahead – 14 Months in the Making!

Blaze LTE Plus series grill with hood assist

Every great dream kitchen begins with a vision, planning ahead ensures we move smoothly during the construction of your custom outdoor kitchen concept. 

For one homeowner in Verdana Village, the dream of owning a fully equipped, custom outdoor kitchen started not when their home was built, but when it was just a concept on paper. They had just signed a contract with Pulte Homes to build their new residence, and even then, they knew one thing for sure: an Elegant Outdoor Kitchen would be part of it.

The Power of Planning

At Elegant Outdoor Kitchens, we believe the best projects begin long before the first piece of granite is cut or the first appliance is installed. So when this homeowner reached out to us more than 14 months before their kitchen would be completed, we were ready.

We guided them through every stage of the process-from inspiration and planning, to design and final installation. We collaborated through email and phone calls while their home was still a blueprint. We helped them make thoughtful selections, lock in pricing, and secure all the necessary materials well before their closing date.

By the time their home was reaching drywall, everything was already in motion. The moment they closed on their new home, we were ready to bring their dream outdoor kitchen to life.

And in just 30 days on-site, that dream became a reality.


Building Beauty in Verdana Village

The home, a Layton model in the heart of Verdana Village, now features a 12’9″ outdoor kitchen that blends functionality with elegant design. But this isn’t just a list of appliances and stone-it’s the result of smart collaboration, trust, and a shared commitment to quality.

When we say “custom”, we mean it.


The Heart of the Kitchen

At the center of this outdoor kitchen is the Blaze 32″ LTE Plus Grill, a true powerhouse for any serious home chef. Ventilated by a Tradewind 36″ Hood with internal blowers, the grill area is framed with a custom stainless stack chase and a 3D stainless steel backsplash that adds both protection and style.

Beneath the grill, we installed a Blaze drawer/door combo for convenient storage. Every inch of this kitchen was designed to make cooking outdoors feel effortless and enjoyable.


Clean, Cold, and Convenient

No outdoor kitchen is complete without running water-and this one features an undermount sink paired with the sleek and modern Delta Capertee high-arc faucet, complete with a built-in soap dispenser.

To the right, a 5.5 cu. ft. outdoor-rated refrigerator keeps drinks and ingredients cool-even during the peak of Florida’s summer. It’s finished with a matching trim kit for a built-in look.

And yes, we thought of everything: a Blaze rollout trash and recycling drawer and a vertical access door beneath the sink make cleanup just as easy as prep.


The Pizza Oven Touch

The homeowner added a personal flair by supplying their own Gozney Arc XL Pizza Oven, and we were happy to accommodate. We prepped the countertop with a 1-inch propane access hole, supplied a 20lb LP tank, and performed a full leak test-ensuring everything was ready to fire up from day one.


Aesthetic That Speaks for Itself

Of course, design matters just as much as function-and this kitchen delivers on both fronts.

The facade and backsplash are finished in MSI’s Alaska Gray multi-finish stacked stone, giving the space texture and timeless style. The countertops? A striking Level 4 Paradiso White granite, with a polished 3/8″ roundover edge and a matching 8″ granite backsplash.

It’s a finish that feels luxurious but still fits seamlessly into the Florida lifestyle.


Built with the Same Quality as Our Model Kitchens

This kitchen was constructed using the same proven methods we use in Pulte’s Stellar model right here in Verdana Village. We take pride in our consistent build quality, and we invite future homeowners to explore our under-construction gallery to see the craftsmanship for themselves.

From Vision to Reality-The EOK Way

What made this project so successful wasn’t just the appliances or the finishes-it was the mindset of the homeowner. They didn’t wait until move-in day to think about their outdoor space. They made it a priority from the beginning. And because of that, the experience was seamless, on schedule, and stress-free.

At Elegant Outdoor Kitchens, we love working with homeowners who share that vision. If you’re planning to build with Pulte or any other builder in Southwest Florida, we encourage you to reach out early. It’s never too soon to start planning your perfect outdoor kitchen.

Hi there, Ben here from Elegant Outdoor Kitchens. Today, I want to highlight the concept of functional beauty when it comes to outdoor kitchen design and contracting. I’m excited to share one of our latest custom outdoor kitchen installations in the stunning Layton Grande model at Verdana Village in Estero, Florida.

Compact Space – Layton Grande Outdoor Kitchen

Outdoor kitchen completed in Estero, Fl

This elegant outdoor kitchen was designed and built for a Layton Grande home, featuring the popular layout option with the master bedroom door opening onto the lanai. Measuring just 8 feet 10 inches in length, this kitchen proves that you don’t need an oversized footprint to achieve exceptional functionality and style.When clients ask, “What should we include in our outdoor kitchen?” our go-to foundation always begins with the essential four: a grill, sink, refrigerator, and vent hood. From there, we tailor every project to the space and homeowner’s lifestyle.In this installation, smart spatial planning was key. By positioning the refrigerator to the right of the grill, we were able to provide the homeowner with 10 square feet of uninterrupted counter space-ideal for food prep, plating, and serving guests. To the left of the grill, we integrated a 14½-inch wide undermount sink, paired with a Delta high-arc faucet and matching soap dispenser, offering both convenience and a clean, refined aesthetic.

To complement the modern architecture of the home, we selected a TrueFlame 32″ grill and a Trade-Wind 36″ pyramid vent hood. The TrueFlame’s sleek, defined lines and the pyramid hood’s geometric symmetry create a cohesive, contemporary look that feels right at home with the property’s design.

For cooling and storage, we included the Blaze 5.5 cubic foot glass-front refrigerator, a stylish and functional choice that doubles as a wine chiller. With its combination of beech wood and glass shelving, it brings a touch of luxury and versatility to the space.

The entire kitchen structure is finished in a stucco façade with a sand-textured finish, further enhancing the home’s modern character while maintaining durability against Florida’s coastal elements.

This project showcases how thoughtful design and premium materials can transform even a modest space into a fully functional, visually striking outdoor kitchen-a perfect example of Elegant Outdoor Kitchens’ commitment to craftsmanship, balance, and beauty in every build.
