Are you able to close off the door opening opposite the peninsula? Is that the entry to the laundry room? Can you get to the laundry room from somewhere else?

I personally do not like the sink or the cook top in the peninsula. 1. it puts the function or cluttered work area front and center to the living area and 2. You lose a nice big work counter and 3. it's not the optimum distance between appliances in the infamous work triangle.

I think the swing of the left door of the fridge will be fine, but check with the appliance sales person.

Where does the other doorway on wall opposite window? How big is laundry room - could that space be opened/incorporated into new kitchen?

The door opposite the peninsula is the only entry to the laundry and unfortunately there are stairs to the FROG in the laundry, directly on the left when entering the laundry.
The basic wall floor plan, with entryways and single window are set. Any more opinions or recommendations on the layout? Looking at the very bottom image, the 3 walls, 2 wall throughs, 1 door and 1 window will have to stay in their current position. Thanks!

In the first rendition could you move the range to the counter in the left?

@etphonehome, surprisingly we haven’t tried that! Thank you for the idea! I’ll modify the first layout and see how that goes. I’ll post back with an update.
Any other thoughts?

Alternatively you could put the range under the window and the sink on the left counter

Definitely do not put cooktop/range in peninsula. Sink and dishwasher in peninsula would be preferred. Can you steal some space in laundry to allow for depth of standard refrigerator and give impression of built-in. A 33-36 counter depth frig is really small.

Here's an updated rendition with @etphonehome's idea. (using sweet home 3d - freeware) The fridge is counter depth and 36" wide. I think I like this a bit better than the previous ideas. Still wish the peninsula could be wider/longer for more room to sit at is as a bar. This is viewing the kitchen from our living room. We will be looking for countertop overhang ideas for this side of the peninsula as well. More feedback is welcomed!

Did you end up putting the range in the peninsula?

Naush, we ended up putting the range against the left wall like in the January 23 post. We really enjoy the layout.

I like the layout but do you have a way to vent the range?

It vents through the roof, directly up. We're in a 1 story house.

I hate my sink in the island, eats up prep space and if you wash any dishes in the sink they end up on that part of the counter, along with cups etc that collect by the sink during the day. I much prefer to look out a window and have an open peninsula.

Hi Bruce, I was wondering how you like the layout of your kitchen. My wife and I are currently working on a remodel of our kitchen and are planning to add an island as well. Getting the flow right is a tough feat, so I’m wondering how you like the flow of your kitchen, specifically the sink and stove distance. From the rendering they look to be about 9-10 feet from each other. This is one of the topics we always get stuck on. My idea is to put a stove top in the future island and the sink in front of a window. The would be right behind one another, so once the pot is filled in the sink, all we would have to do is turn 180 degrees and place it on the stove. She doesn’t think the distance matters much, but occasionally she will make dishes that require large (maybe 5 gallon) pots that are filled with water and vegetables. This would have to weight about 30+ pounds in my opinion. I’m envisioning accidents happening if she were to travel a few extra feet to get to the stove. Also, we have 3 dogs and 2 cats, so just imagine moving a pot of that size amidst the chaos.
