I don't know the dimensions of my (eat-in) kitchen here in SC but it's
pretty big. It's also not laid out well at all. As you say, the stove and
refrigerator are across the room from the sink. There's a rather useless
(except for storage) kitchen island you have to walk around to get from the
sink to the fridge and stove. (Whoever designed this kitchen obviously
didn't cook.)
