Take some non-panoramic pictures and post them in a comment.

What do you hope to accomplish by closing up the door?

Based on photos so far, yes I would close it off if you’re not doing a complete revamp of kitchen to remove the wall plus there’s a step there. For remaining entry consider doing curved top instead of square opening there now.

Yeah - close that off. It almost makes no sense.

@shirlpp my mom said to me the other day ”what were they thinking when they designed this house”😂

@jck910 Would love to be able to sit the sofa flush with the wall if wanted ot even to change the tv around to another wall depending.
