Existing house? New construction?

Its an existing house, built in 1986 so needs some work

Define better. What's the goal?

Can plumbing be moved significantly? Do you know which walls are load-bearing?

How much do you cook? Do you entertain? How many people live here? You said you don't need the bedroom as a bedroom, do you need it as an office or den?

Just to clarify the drawing, stairs go up from the right and down to the basement through the door on the left, yes?

The goal is to be more open concept (would love an island in the kitchen) as we do love to entertain, and host for watching football games, dinner, etc. I dont believe the wall between the dining and living space is load-bearing. I do work from home but could always put a desk in the guest bedroom upstairs if needed (there is only 2 people in the house so the second bed upstairs will be a guest room/office) the stairs in the dining go down to the basement and there is a little pantry in the door next to it, the stairs on the right side leas upstairs.

Plumbing can be moved too!

So this is a gut remodel with no budget? Kitchen will have to move out of the current location completely to have an island.

When you entertain, is it just a couple people over? Or would you like space to seat a larger group? Formal dining or gather round the island type eating?

The walls on the first floor are likely holding up the rooms on the second floor, so I doubt there's an option for removing walls.

Gut remodel is fine with no budget as we have wiggle room. for entertaining would like to gather around an island as theres usually 8+ people. was thinking the kitchen could maybe expand into the dining as we dont need a formal dining table? thanks all for the help!

Well, it's not that there's no option to move walls ... it might just get expensive to move some of them and/or result in a post somewhere.

Would like to keep having a bathroom on the first floor, totally understand with keeping it 3 beds but was thinking the one on the first floor could be a den/office? Here is technically the front, the enterancr we will use the most is the door on the side

i would meet with a few builders and get some estimates for gutting and expanding the kitchen and getting new flooring - even if money is not a concern, I think budget should play a role just to ensure the house isn’t overimproved -

also would be good to try not to get fixated on having an island, it might not work in your space

Okay, this is pretty rough:

Office is still legally a bedroom, just small ...

Windows in the dining room would need to be shortened to accommodate the kitchen counter. Might need to adjust a bit to work seating into the island, but this isn't exact enough for that anyways ... probably pantry cabinets on the right side, though next to the fridge. Stove can vent outside more easily from its new position. Livingroom is plenty large enough to fit a dining table if you wanted.

... and I think I moved a wall like 4" ... don't do that ... haha. Leave it where it and just close off the door.

I think this is fishing expedition and there is IMO no way to have an island in that kitchen without moving thebathroom and even then tight / I think we need to understand whenoyu say no budget what you really mean . I think if entertaining is often with big groups sitting around an island the whole house needs to be revamped to allow that . Are you into doing that much work and are you willing to have a home not ideal for future buyers . Bedroom needs are very dependant on the area you are in . We sold a house with only really one master bedoom in the inner city no problem if it had been in the suburbs we would not have been able to sell. If none of that matters then IMO the LR becomes the kitchen and the kitche DR becomes the LR you change the bedroom to small den move the bathroom to become a PR Honestly anything is possible with a big enough money tree .

The front door cuts the living room in half, so I would look at options that move it to one side and allows for better furniture placement.
