T-Minus 380 days: Summer Kitchen

We were looking at some home plans and my wife came across the following plan from a home built in Kissimmee.

This is an incredible house - far more than what we need nor could afford ($500K) It is designed to be a rental where a large family could come together, and each have their own parts of the house while gathering together in some common areas.


Something I love about this house is the summer kitchen. It is huge - much larger than I would want. The design has a bar, two tables, and a lounge area. Something half the size would be plenty. What I find interesting is this is not a typical launi. It is an extension off the back of the house!

I also like how it provides extra privacy for the pool. It appears they simply changed the configuration of the house's garage by pushing it back further and opening the side of the garage instead of the front of the garage. I suspect that is what happened because there is no garage for this house, and the summer kitchen sits at the end of the driveway.

Thinking about doing something similar enters the realm of a custom build - which won't be practical for our long distance move. But I wonder if it would be impossible to find a house plan with a side garage and simply have them double the depth of the garage? It is certainly something I am going to keep in mind when we talk to builders this summer.
