Kitchen redesign request for opinions

[Christian M.]

Hey, BP peeps! I'm picking up a property and I'm trying to figure out the best way to redesign this kitchen. This is in a high-priced neighborhood with an ARV of ~$420k. I'm looking for an opinion on what to do and also feedback on my design thoughts.

My design thoughts:

- Granite counters
- Get rid of upper cabinets in the foreground completely
- Shorten the length of lower cabinets in the foreground, leave some of the granite counter "overhanging" for a little breakfast eating area (think tall stools)
- Get rid of 1970s double oven (next to white fridge) and replace with modern SS oven/glass range with SS overhead microwave and upper cabinet above microwave
- Ditch white fridge for modern SS fridge, have upper cabinets above fridge

My question is, do you think it's weird to have the fridge right net to the oven?

Something like this:

Thanks in advance, everyone!
