Looking at a house.  It has a tiny kitchen.  Other than that, the rest of the house is good.  The neighborhood is good too.

Would you buy a house with a tiny kitchen?


Adding "pic".  I don't remember where the oven or dishwasher were.  The fridge relative to the other parts should be about to scale and should give an idea of the size the whole kitchen.

Sure, if there was the possibility of expanding/addition later down the road. Not a deal breaker for me

Dishwasher, 2 sinks, microwave over oven, fridge, pantry and enough cabinets to hold cookware, dishes, utensils..

I barely cook. That wouldn't bother me at all.

I love to cook, and I cook a lot. It would be a deal breaker for me. I like lots of counter space.

No. I’m a great fuckin cook and I want enough space to work my art. I’ve spent enough years in shitty little apartments.

Same here.  And a 36" range with a vent hood that will pull socks off your bedroom floor.

NO!

Sounds like the retired people who don't like or want to cook type of place.

My kitchen is about 15' x 15' and I get frustrated with it at times space-wise.

I'd like about double that size, 2 cook tops, 2 double wall ovens, 2 sinks, so my wife can stay the Hell out of my way when things get technical.

My kitchen is small for the size of the house.  Still room for all appliances, cabinets and an island.  It works for me.

We have a house with a tiny kitchen and it blows giant cock. We had grand intentions of a remodel to expand, but material is out of hand and quotes are outrageous

We live in a 450 sq/ft apartment. You can imagine how small the kitchen is. We call it the galley. Perfectly happy.
Last night we were with friends who’s house is a mansion. Their kitchen is larger than our apartment. They are perfectly happy. To each their own.

My wife and I did

Great house but there’s no way two adults can be in the kitchen simultaneously. No dishwasher either.

It'a a "galley" kitchen in realtor-speak. We had one in a 3K foot house in NC...and it sucked. Great appliances and well done for what it was, but almost impossible for two people to work at the same time without serious danger from knives, boiling water, searing hot roasting pans...you name it.

Nope, deal breaker. If you buy one because you don't cook, just remember you're cutting your future resale market in half, if not more.

We have made epic feasts out of a tiny kitchen.

I did (10' x 10').

It's OK for one person but there is no way for two people to try to do anything in the kitchen at the same time.

The worst part is that counter and storage space is very limited.

I would only consider a micro kitchen if there was a monster shop.   Else wise, keep looking.

I have a small house with a small kitchen.
We are replacing that kitchen and it won’t cost me $30K+ so I’m good with it.

Probably not.  I don't need a big kitchen, but I'd be afraid that a house with a tiny little kitchen would be tough to sell down the road.

My house has more of a small or medium kitchen.  Nothing tiny, nothing big.  It's just there.

Few years ago, while house shopping, one home looked great, except for the 'kitchen'.  It was literally like 6' in length on two walls in one corner.  Sink, range, spot for a fridge and barely any cabinets or counter space.  Was a hard pass on that home.

I'm single, I'm fine with my small kitchen.
But it depends on how small 'small' is...

Only if I could blow out a wall and make it an open concept.

Tony kitchens and formal dining rooms are things of years gone by.

My first house's kitchen was absurdly tiny. no dishwasher, no seating, roughly six square feet of (2' by 3') counter space and even that was about a foot too low.

I worked for me when I was single, and was a major pain in the ass with a young family.

Grateful for the fucked up housing market, or that house would have been difficult to sell.

I moved into an apartment with a tiny kitchen... I hate it... I used to love to cook. Now it's a chore. I'd rather door dash or go pick something up.

Fucking sucks.

I knew a lady who refused to cook in her kitchen. It was for decoration only. Even the fridge was only allowed to have bottled water in it.
She made her husband build her an outside kitchen on the patio. Top tier everything.
She cooked every meal out there,rain or shine,hot or cold.
Good cook but she was kooky as fuck.

Hell no. My kitchen is the size of an efficiency apartment and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s the center of our home and where we spend the most time as a family eating and cooking.

the kitchen is a typical gathering place, so consider that

Guess Im going to be a weird one here but I LOVE a galley kitchen. The kitchen is for cooking, making meals, not for entertaining guests, that's what the rest of the house is for.

When we build our retirement house the wife insists on a decent-sized kitchen. I insist on a walk-in pantry like my parents had. No problemo.

No, not unless I was single.  The kitchen is the center of the home and where people gather the most, it is the most important room in most homes.

I had a 1650sqft house built.
I'm single so I preferred a smaller kitchen in order to maximize space elsewhere.
Here's my kitchen and it works well for me, but there's only room for me when I'm cooking (which is fine since I don't allow anyone in my kitchen while I'm cooking).

My wife cooks for a hobby.  Ergo - the kitchen is the most important room in the house.  I had to buy this house and pay over market (4 years ago so no longer an issue) because she had to have it.

No. My current, which is my first, house has a kitchen that's probably as small as i could go. Didn't seem bad at first but there are times the size kind of sucks
Layout isn't that far off from the crude paint diagram
