This home's charm begins with its elegant brick stairs leading to a grand covered porch framed by columns. Jack arches above the windows and a special shape brick water table at the base of the house add even more curb appeal. http://insistonbrick.com/

Outdoor Kitchen and New Outdoor Living Room View We took our client’s goals and added our design and craftsmanship to make a GREAT outdoor living space with an amazing deck and storage room two-story addition. The North Phoenix home faces north with a stunning view of Lookout Mountain Preserve and the northeast valley. Our client now has an incredible space to enjoy their scenic view. We created a large outdoor living area for entertaining. This beautiful adobe style home’s first floor was built below grade level. The second story of the home is dedicated to the main living space with the kitchen, living room, and dining room. By expanding the deck, and integrating an outdoor kitchen, we created a much larger living space for their home. We built a two-story addition to the back of the house which creates a storage room, of which the roof serves as an additional walk deck space for the new outdoor kitchen (check out the photos). This new uncovered deck directly extends from the existing deck so that it spans the width of the home. The storage room is a secure, temperature-controlled space. With a ceiling height of just over 9’0” and over 200 sq. ft., this room below the new deck addition is the perfect space for secure additional storage.

Brick inspires the imagination. This beautiful home has it all, from a dramatic brick staircase to classy arches and headers finished with keystones. Learn more about what you can do with brick at http://insistonbrick.com/.

Oval arches and a soldier course accent band on the second floor wall are just some of the special touches on this brick home. A mortared paver system and brick steps help create a great first impression.

The beauty is in the details. From brick quoins to semicircular arches with keystones and stack bond projecting header framed openings around the windows, this home has serious curb appeal.

This master suite has tall, lofty ceiling. It also has an entrance to the unique sleeping porch which is accessed only from the master suite. Photo credit: Randall Perry
