With that green colour, oven placement would be very much a secondary concern.
I quite like it.
Reminds me of my grandma's kitchen growing up. Way more character than the soulless granite countetops, stainless steel appliances, and neutral cabinets that is in vogue now.
There's a salmon colored room at the back too. My entire house was pepto bismol pink with green rugs when we bought it, and I thought that was bad. This place might actually be worse.
I must be weird. I kinda like it. It keeps the grease and heat away from the rest of the prep space.
Really depends where the fridge is... Triangle is optimal, but if the fridge and sink both require walking around that counter it's gonna get annoying fast.
Also lets them have a little breakfast area as well.
Seems like the most efficient use of space to me.
The kitchen is overall hideous, but I do like that generous prep space adjacent to the cook top.
Turn oven 90° counterclockwise, counter along the wall left of the oven instead of where it is now.
Bonus: You can now have storage above the counter!
I'm with you. I kind of like it over there keeping its mess to itself. Kind of dig the green too.
Placement of the oven does not concern me, what does and always do, is that pathetic exhaust fan above it, which may or may not be connected to the outside by a duct, but in either situation, it's a low quality system that does not even remove 50% of the cooking aroma, it's like no one has ever figured out how to make one for home use that is effective and not sound like a jet engine. I've seen $2 million dollar condos that have that problem.
Ok it's not just me. The one in my house clearly had a duct but the previous owners removed it. Now the range hood exhausts out the front directly into your face.
Maybe they had an olfactory disability and needed assistance with identifying when they were poorly cooking their meals
I've lived in a couple of apartments in Norway where they had a genius solution to the problems you mention (except the jet engine sound): it sends all odours to your NEIGHBOURS who have their kitchen right above or below yours 😎
(warning:it works both ways. So if your neighbours are cooking you better turn it on, and you better set it to superjet mode, because the strongest decides where the odours go.)
I love to imagine the excitement of these listing agents when they see a spike in views hahah
I kind of like the place one of the oven.
You can open the door and there's no way it's going to block the path for anybody else who's walking in the kitchen. So you got a lot of people in there cooking say for Thanksgiving no worries.
It would also be very hard for say a kid to come in on the side and potentially get hurt. I know there have been many times I've had to keep a sharp eye on some very curious young ones.
Cleaning it might be a bitch though.
This house is pretty cute (and priced within reach!), but that kitchen would annoy me...https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2429-Woodley-Rd-Montgomery-AL-36111/72810736_zpid/
Well it’s priced that way because Alabama. No one wants to live in AL.
Is it that cheap just because it’s in Alabama?
I pay like double that for a flat
Wow, houses are still cheap in AL, I remember when they were cheap here (near Nashville, TN)
I mean, it's an electric stove that wouldn't be all that hard to change
Naughty cooks are sent to the Oven Dungeon
I dig the oven placement. If I need to chop something, the counter is right there and I can have a beer closeby. Less space for people to crowd around you getting to other areas of the kitchen.
Agreed. Husband and I are constantly bumping ass because the space around our stove is just a hair too small. There's plenty of space to prep and drop cooked dishes.
I would enjoy a cubicle cooktop, i think
-
Tear out that oven, hood, and the extended counter to its right.
-
Replace with new oven and hood, rotated 90° so they're facing into the kitchen.
3: STRIP OFF THAT FUCKING PAINT.
- Wood stain newly cleaned wood.

That's an.... odd... placement. I do like the counter immediately next to the stove like that, but, yeah .... no.
I thought the same thing, but it needs to be shorter!
It's the sink being so far away from the stove that bothers me. Those two things need to be together
Everyone is fixated on the stove but nobody noticed there wasnt a fridge
Probably behind the photographer
It's like they built the kitchen, then suddenly remembered after the fact that maybe a stove would be a nice idea.
I think doing that little loop around the counter every time you tend to the stove would get real old real fast.
Could well be that the house predates the built in oven?
There's no bathroom.
We'll get that fixed.
It's weird. But could be conducive to good kitchen practices regarding ingredient prep/mise en place and sticking to a recipe instead of cooking on the fly and cutting stuff up when you should be at the stove. You'd need to stick to a workflow... But I mostly agree. I prefer cooking chaotically.
As a left-handed person, I find this arrangement offensive.
The absolute worst part about this picture is the gas stove with a fake vent hood
Maybe those are fake cabinets that are just hiding the channel for the vent?
Probably not, but it's nice to dream I guess.
How did you know the hood is fake? Mine has a cabinet above it too but the hood duct is run through the cabinet and boxed in leaving room around it to still store things
It looked too thin to be venting. I've lived in places with hoods like that which just blow the hot air in your face
Fake hoods have a vent on the front to helpfully blow the steam and fumes back into your face. This doesn’t appear to have that, so it’s probably real.
The color of the place would not want me to cook there, either.
new barbie playset lookin fire
Honestly the color of the cabinets would bother me more than the stove.
That's just an Overcooked level.
I didn't think a galley-style kitchen could get worse 😒
Considering the absolute picturesque dreaminess of this house and that price I would deal with it. If I really didn't like it, I'd have enough money to fix it considering how much money I'd save on buying the house.
70’s hibachi?
There is no explaining this kitchen.
Just make that counter line up with the stove, no biggie
I might have rotated the oven 90 degrees counterclockwise and gotten rid of the island (peninsula , I guess) but I like having what would essentially be two prep stations working across from one another with one person right at the range top. This kitchen isn't actually that big from a square footage perspective but it looks like 4 or 5 people could comfortably work there without touching elbows.
Better than my kitchen, aside from the color anyhow.
That's a gut-it or rent-it situation. Nobody buying that is just going to move in. The linoleum floor, fiberboard counters, paint, layout, fixtures--every single item in that room could be vastly improved.
Just imagine trying to clean around it.
Yeah no. I had a kitchen with a similar wider end and that is perfect for a table, it even has a window ! The commitment to the green is a power choice, I would probably only keep the green doors and get the rest in a neutral colour.
I also kinda think this is a lot of storage space, I would be happy exchanging some for a dinig area.I've seen more sensible kitchen layouts in the game Overcooked
Just the range? Not every-fucking-thing?
It looks weird, but I like it for practicality. It opens up the rest of the space when you're cooking and gives you a nice counter area right beside you. I also like the ugly green.
Yeah I currently have the sink between me and my counter, so I'm chopping veggies on the opposite side of the kitchen from where I'm sauteing them. This would be great for my use case.
The window should be a bit closer to us, the sink should be by the new window placement, the stove should be 1/2 width to the left of where the dishwasher is, the dishwasher should be to the left of the new sink placement and where the stove currently is should be walled in and converted to a pantry.
you would get your steps in, that is certain.
