Where to put kitchen sink?

[Negar P.]

Hi all,

We are remodelling a kitchen in a single level 2250 sqft house in California. The current kitchen layout is L shaped and has an island (3x6), in the center. The kitchen sink and the dishwasher are in this island and if you stand behind the sink you will be facing the living room and will be seeing a view from the living room windows (multiple big windows). All other appliances are located in the wall behind you (14 ft wall). And more cabinets are on the wall on your right side (this is the small wall of the L). There are no windows on any of these walls.

For the new layout, I wonder if we should keep the sink and the dishwasher in the island or move them to the wall on the right side? If we move them we will have a big one piece island but the sink will be facing a wall.

Which way is more desirable for future buyers or renters? One big piece island or sink facing the living room windows.

Please also consider that it won't cost us extra to move the sink and dishwasher, so money-wise both layouts will be the same.
