A full outdoor kitchen sits at the left side of the Ipe deck at this Oakton, VA home. A stainless steel grill with a covered range top is accompanied by a matching warming drawer as well as a full-size range hood that keeps the area from getting smoky or overheated when the grill is being used.
New Granite Countertop
We installed a granite countertop to make the kitchen even more functional and attractive. While prepping the meal, the chef can chat with guests on the deck or look out onto the property’s gorgeous scenery. Diners can enjoy their meals on the couch or in a comfy chair in the cozy seating area next to the outdoor kitchen or take their plates over to the dining table just outside the home’s sliding-glass doors.
Chevron IPE Deck
The gorgeous deck starts with an Ipe floor. We used wider planks and installed them in a chevron pattern to add some visual interest to the space. Sturdy, square, paneled columns emerge from the traditional white railing around the deck to support the impressive tongue-and-groove ceiling. Built-in can lights and a series of ceiling fans were installed to make the deck a hospitable locale both day and night. Square, paneled beams mimic the columns and add support to the deck roof.
Sliding-Glass Doors and Picture Windows
The deck is accessed from the home through sets of sliding-glass doors. A series of venting picture windows provides the home with plenty of views of the deck and backyard property. A large staircase to the left splits into two sets of stairs leading down from the deck; one to the backyard and one to the side yard.
Custom Landscaping
Extensive custom landscaping was another element of the exterior remodeling project at this Oakton home. A wide flagstone walkway leads from the backyard to the front of the house, with occasional curved seating walls along the way. Short hedges were planted close to the house, while tall shade trees were placed at the back of the property and in front of two windows at the front for privacy.
