Our Gardenia was plumbed for a summer kitchen when we bought it. I added the summer kitchen myself. I built a frame, added stainless steel access doors for the sink and the grill. Stuccoed the face of the frame. Tiled the top and backsplash, added a small fridge, sink, and a built in propane grill.

We got the built in grill and fridge at home depot. About 800 and 200. The sink, faucet, stucco, framing, doors, tiles, etc all cost about 500. So we have about 1500 into it in total ( with my labor ).

So at the very least pay to have TV plumb (hot and cold water supply and waste pipe) and extra electric outlets. If you are down in the new area you will not have the ability to add natural gas line, but mine had no natural gas line and I just went with propane. At least this way you can always easily have the kitchen installed later.
