This is a drawing of us moving the master suite door and making the laundry room smaller. I think this would allow the kitchen to have more wall space if we decided to move it to the front.

I definitely appreciate everybody's input and advice, so, thought I'd come back and give you all a little update. There are some issues with changing the layout, specifically moving the range to the interior wall. The venting is going to be problematic, because of location of the garage doors and also some HVAC equipment in the path. Would involve a rather long, inefficient run with multiple turns to avoid these things. HVAC guy basically said, Please don't move it there. Not only that, but the small wall that Karenseb suggested to remove - is part of a larger load-bearing wall. I have a healthy mid-range kitchen budget but these changes could be a real budget buster. Especially as we don't know what other surprises are lurking once demo begins. With that in mind, and my husband's wish to have the range and hood as a focal point centered between the windows, aesthetically nicer than staring at a fridge from the island seating, as well as simpler ventilation, any other suggestions? Should we keep dishwasher to the right as it is now? I plan to move the sink further down the run, ending at the right end of window instead of centered, to increase counter space on right side of range. For the few times a year I would cook a large spread of food for entertaining, I do have a butcher block island on wheels that can be rolled over to serve as surplus counter. Plus the big island directly behind. Other changes - we are leaning towards forgetting the separate oven and going with the aga range (plus my trusty Breville smart oven). I think then we would just make the beverage center section all countertop, space for Breville, and center the bar sink on that run. I asked my kitchen designer to draw up an L shaped window seat, into the alcove, maybe shelves or small upper above. As we can have lots of pantry space, with affordable shelving instead of cabinets, in the current hallway/future walk through pantry.

Google kitchen design for wheel chairs. There is tons of info. Your son will soon be in a larger wheelchair and want to be able to do things on his own so this design needs some very serious thought. 60” is the requirement for spacing where you need walkways islands don’t usually work well unless you have a huge space.

Would you consider placing TV on the wall we haven't seen; the stairwell wall? That keeps TV from being the focal point of the room when guests enter and allows placement of the sofa against the largest wall to be the focal welcome that draws people into the room. Previous owners had the right idea. Where was their TV?
