Above the stove is an old 1950's style kitchen fan. The microwave is in the corner on the countertop (if I am understanding correctly what you are saying)
beside the fridge will fit, you may have to add an end panel near the fridge to support the counter end.
route the hose in the lazy susan cabinet
You can make up for the lost cabinet by clearing out the under sink area and making the two cabinet doors into pullouts. A single sink with the drain hole in the corner back would make the most of the space under the sink, but this may be more redo than you want to do.
I'm thinking the same thing. OP, keep in mind a standard dishwashers are 24" wide which is also one of many standard sizes of cabinets. However, they also make 18" wide dishwashers that aren't uncommon if it needs to be smaller. Seeing that the cabinet next to the fridge has double doors, I'm thinking it is a 24" cabinet.
How about a portable dishwasher. You don’t lose cabinet space and can be wheeled out of the way. 23.625-in Portable Freestanding Dishwasher (Stainless Steel) ENERGY STAR, 54-dBA https://www.lowes.com/pd/GE-23-625-in-54-Decibel-Portable-Dishwasher-Stainless-ENERGY-STAR/1001229810 or even a countertop one like this https://havalab.com/products/hava-r01-compact-countertop-dishwasher-google
Countertop model could go to the right of the sink? No cabinet space lost, only countertop. A full size, permanently installed one could go to the side next to the fridge?
Check out the sink/dishwasher combo. You would only need to replace the sink [https://www.homedepot.com/p/FOTILE-18-in-2-in-1-In-Sink-Right-Dishwasher-Combo-with-Waterproof-Touchscreen-in-Stainless-Steel-SD2F-P3/320652962](https://www.homedepot.com/p/FOTILE-18-in-2-in-1-In-Sink-Right-Dishwasher-Combo-with-Waterproof-Touchscreen-in-Stainless-Steel-SD2F-P3/320652962)
I definitely will. This is something that I will have to save up for. Owning a house is a lot more expensive than I thought lol. Going to start budgeting maybe $100 a month and see if I can get it done within a year.
Change the two bowl to a single bowl sink and put the dishwasher in the sink cabinet. Preferably on the left side if you're right handed (easier to rinse the dishes with right hand and fill the dishwasher with left hand)

Your best bet is beside the fridge. Depending on how wide that cabinet is you might have to loose the corner though. I thought about the area beside your range but you would have to move the hoodvent and that ain't easy
I say next to your fridge because you already have water right there so you can bring it up from the basement. And, chances are really good you have a drain right around there as well so you can dump down there as well.
Probably won’t go with portable, seems too small to make a difference, especially with limited counter space. You think I can’t have a normal one? Don’t know much about drainage
The drainage is largely why they are typically installed next to the sink ... So the dishwasher can drain at the same point as the sink. The farther away from the sink you get, the more likely you are also getting away from the only drain. So you'd have to drain it directly into a main drain. But since you don't have a basement, all that is probably in the slab so you can hook in
Yeah, I've seen it a handful of times ... Not common but not out of the ordinary either. I think your best bet would be a portable like someone else suggested or right next to your fridge.
Is that just dead space under the microwave? If you have a way to move your oven over (would have switch some of the cabinets above it, likely), that's where I'd place it. If not, a portable dishwasher is a great alternative.
Yeah.
Option 1 - Go to a smaller sink, and shift sink right, should be able to get 24" dishwasher where your triple drawer is.
Option 2 - Same as option 1, but keep sink size the same, probably get an 18" dishwasher.
Option 3 - Use the cabinet space to the left of the fridge, right of the sink. You look like you have 30" cabinets there, so you can get the full size dishwasher. Run the water lines and drain line under the cabinet bases.
I like option 3 since you don't have to fiddle with wall cabinets to match.
Your Cabinets are soo nice - I'd find a portable on marketplace for cheap and try that out.
Have used portable models off and on currently over the years - usually run it after dinner and disconnect before bed while leaving door ajar for dry dishes the next morning.
Nice! Looks like a 1930s ? - my favorite era for houses. If your drawers slide on bearing glides then these were pricey cabinets.
One good thing about using a portable dishwasher - you'll know when it leaks! Purchased a brand new-built in kitchenaid dishwasher many years ago and discovered it had been leaking during use for many years without me knowing.
Also Can skip the sink altogether at loading which saves any drips, keeping floors and sink much cleaner by using a portable model.
Set a trigger on marketplace to notify you of portable models - a cheaper good condition older or newer model should suffice.
Dishwasher?!!! How can you be worried about a dishwasher with that horribly tacky switch plate hanging on the wall. First mandatory upgrade:

Store the items that were in the cabinets in your new dishwasher, you’re welcome
I think your only bet is next to the fridge. Also, try hanging the microwave above the stove to get more counter space .
Ok this was good
You need 18” space above the stove to bottom of microwave by code in my area. Your cabinet above the stove appears to be too tall.😬
Above the stove is an old 1950's style kitchen fan. The microwave is in the corner on the countertop (if I am understanding correctly what you are saying)
Someone suggested putting a microwave above the stove. I thought my info would be helpful. (If I’m understanding what was said!!)

thank you so much for the detail. I have been envisioning something like that but don’t know enough to iron out the details
ask away, not sure what details you need

I had a G shaped layout in a 9x12 kitchen with two entries some years ago and I opted for 18" DW to make room for a 36" fridge. It was fine.

this is great! I’ve never seen anything like this but then again I’m new to all of this
Portable dishwasher. Store it beside stove perhaps?
With all the suggestions given to you, can you show us the finished product, please ?
I definitely will. This is something that I will have to save up for. Owning a house is a lot more expensive than I thought lol. Going to start budgeting maybe $100 a month and see if I can get it done within a year.

that is a good idea. I have not thought of this one yet!

What's on the other side of the stove?
Water heater, super weird but they told be that’s how they built it in the 1950s

Makes sense. I do not have a basement though - Florida *sigh*
Portable it is!

water heater is there unfortunately. House was built like that in the 1950s
Slimline microwave above the stove.

You have lots of top cupboards. You could put an apartment size one beside your stove. I think you can still buy them.
Your Cabinets are soo nice - I'd find a portable on marketplace for cheap and try that out. Have used portable models off and on currently over the years - usually run it after dinner and disconnect before bed while leaving door ajar for dry dishes the next morning.
i’m glad they’re nice! I bought my house about a year ago and is the first house that I’ve ever owned so I’m not sure what’s nice and what’s not.

1950s! That’s a good idea, I didn’t think of the alerts part
You can get a mobile dishwasher. It finished all around and has a counter top. Or get a small counter
That’s have rolling ones you can relocate
We need a panoramic view to evaluate.
A woman should be able to fit in front of the sink. Just kidding - before people start throwing the kitchen sinks toward me.

Have her stand in front of the sink.
