Feast Your Eyes on These 8 Homes With Delicious Outdoor Kitchens

Outdoor kitchen at California home — realtor.com

The long weekend signals the kickoff of the summer grilling season, and our thoughts have turned to cooking outdoors.

With visions of tasty grilled meats and veggies making their way through our minds, we looked at tantalizing outdoor kitchens in luxury homes for sale.

We love an al fresco cooking space, preferably one with stainless-steel appliances, a great view, and plenty of room to (safely) host guests. We’ve spotted eight homes with absolutely scrumptious setups.

And given the ongoing ripple effects of the pandemic, the emphasis on a particularly appetizing outdoor space may be way more than an afterthought for home buyers.

Let these backyard banquet spaces serve as inspiration. Even if you’re not considering a move, it’s always fun to take in on some of the most droolworthy open-air cook spaces around.

So pour a glass of rosé, light the charcoal, and tour these eight great outdoor kitchens…
