Have a floor plan with all dimensions filled in? It would help you get better advice.

I felt like the range was too far away from the sink if I put more space in between.

If you prep to the left of the sink, that is where to measure the distance. How many feet would that be? As millworkman suggested, a measured overhead plan would help.

Centering the range would look nice, but it shouldn't overlap the seating area, so maybe 33"--which would be a good size for pots and pans.

Do you have a storage plan? The best way to determine what you need in terms of drawers and cabinets is to determine in advance where everything is going to go.

1. Place things near their point of use: potholders/spices/cooking utensils/pots and pans near the range; knives/ cutting boards/ colanders/ trash in the prep area; dish/flatware storage near the dishwasher.

2. Think about "valuable real estate" - the things you use the most are easiest to get to, and things you use twice a year go out of the way.

3. Consider where you will put EVERYTHING. Small appliances, canning pot, cookie sheets, cutting boards, baking pans, canned goods, baking supplies, bulk food items, towels, storage containers, bags and wraps.

4. Plan for how you really live - not how you think you might live in a different space. For example, if you desire a clear, uncluttered counter, you have to make sure it's convenient for everyone in the family to put away the toaster, blender, or rice cooker when they are done using it. If you buy 8 boxes of cereal at a time, or 4 cases of soda or beer, figure out now where it will go (I specified a beer/soda cabinet in our new kitchen, to eliminate a stack of boxes next to the fridge).

5. Measure everything. I used masking tape to show the interior dimension of a drawer, and stacked things within that dimension, to see if it worked in real life. If you want canisters or appliances in a drawer, make sure the drawer is deep enough.

Great tips! Thank you

I don’t suppose this doorway can move in order to make the 79” wall useful?

Unfortunately, no it leads to our bedroom and dining room and basement

Are you going to square off the round top door and pass-through openings as part of construction?

No. My grandfather built this house and I want to keep some of the character. The rounded openings were something he was very proud of.

Can any of the soffits be removed?

Yes. We plan to remove the soffits and bring the cabinets up to the ceiling and add some crown molding.
