Replacing the deck to nowhere!

last month

Hi Houzzers! Happy New Year.
We will be replacing our deck this spring, and I’m looking for advice on designing a deck extension with steps. The total width of the back of my house is about 21' My current deck covers 9 1/2' of that and extends about 7 3/4 inches out to the addition. Yes, its literally the deck to nowhere.
I’d like to extend the deck along the back of the house to make the deck larger, but I’m not sure how to design and where to place the steps to avoid taking up too much of the yard, which is already limited. The previous owners built an addition onto the house, which reduced the size of the original deck significantly. Now, I’m trying to make the best use of the remaining space and looking for possible design options.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on what might work best given my space.
Thank you so much in advance!
