Some additional considerations to weigh in making your choices. If you go with with a slide-in induction range. Both the GE and Bosch have full-power (2000 watt) elements for the convection functions. (Most ranges and wall ovens use 300-watt convection elements and mostly use the bottom element.) The GE slide-in (PHS920) often can be found discounted, which means (depending on where you shop) you might be able to get it for $500 to $600 less than the Bosch HIIP054U. The GE has a significantly bigger oven cavity (i.e., greater usable depth and more usable height) while the Bosch has more usuable space on the stovetop. (The GE's angled front control panel eats some space.) The GE's stovetop has two identical 8" medium/large burners on the left which makes it easy to use a burner spanning rectangular griddle (say, for pancakes) or deglazing large roasting pans. (However, for griddles, you have to be picky because you've only got a lttle over 19" of depth to work with). The Bosch does not have the length limitation but it's two "in-line" burners are different sizes, The two left hand burners on the Bosch are a 9" diameter and a 6" diameter, so harder to get even heating, plus a wide pan (say a roasting pan) may overlap ino the area of the 11"central burner, and that could be a problem when you have other pans on the range. You can pull hot baking pans out of the oven and set them down on the GE's stovetop without worrying about laying them on the control surface. With the Bosch having the burner control panel on top of the stove, I would worry about damaging it if I were to, say, accidentally put a very hot pizza pan or broiler pan on it. (This might be paranoia from issues with older induction ranges.) The Bosch has individual burner timers which can be very handy for recipes that require fairly precise times (as with pressure cookers, for example, or rice). The two stoves have different ergonomics for the burner and oven controls. I don't know that one is better than the other, but you may have preferences. So, a good idea to check out the onine copies of the manual and, if possible, see the stoves in person. Cooktops: The Bosch and GE have different burner layouts. One may appeal to you more than the other. If you can find display models, take some pans you often use together and see how well they fit. The Bosch has timer controls for the burners, Refrigerators: For the last two or three years, GE has been making its own fridges. (It "on-shored" its production to new factories in Kentucky). That seems to have helped with past reliability problems. Keep that in mind when reading reviews. When Bosch first started selling fridges here several years ago -- source of the product unknown to me --- there were some pretty negative comments here about unreliability within months of purchase. The current Bosch FD fridges are rebadged Whirlpools (IIRC, outfitted similarly to Whirlpool's kitchenaid models.) That may help with your research. Dishwasher: Didn't see this on your list. Are we correct to assume that already has been selected? Range Hood: Already selected, as well? Washer & Dryer: Can't help with this. Sorry. You might try posting in the Laundry forum.

We have an old house and I constantly remind myself that some of the answers are never going to reveal themselves. If only the original builder had left written records! If only the changes made over the years had been noted! I console myself with our efforts to honor the builder and the other owners over the years. In the 1836 addition, the subfloor is the only flooring! Those rooms are colder because the cellar is visible through the cracks, but unless we install new flooring over the original, we live with it, in the interest of historical accuracy. It is convenient in case someone has forgotten to turn off the cellar light, I can see light through some of the cracks! In two of the oldest rooms in our two hundred year old home, the owners during the 1920s installed 2” oak on top of the subfloor. In spite of the shudder I experience every time I walk into these main rooms, I leave the oak as it is now nearly one hundred years old. I just grit my teeth…. Probably, if this had been done recently, I would have ripped it out and replaced it with more appropriate flooring…. We did rip out the master bath with the 1990s tile and ridiculous vanity and the powder room sports new tile floor and toilet. If it is any consolation, when the second family bought the house 123 years after it was built, they lamented they could not afford to replace the original cedar shingles and had to settle for a metal roof. 90 years later, we had the roof repainted….

The cart would have to be moved away from the dishwasher every time it was used in order to have immediate daily access to the stack of drawer on the other side. The studs between the apartments are staggered, I consulted an engineer for a work around to separate the attachments between the two units and sound proofed as much as I could while I had it gutted. That kitchen is UNDER the staircase of the unit next door so the only solution left is carpeting to further soften clunky shoes. It is much better than it was. It was a successful vacation rental but I think I'm done with that... being trapped every summer taking care of other people. People have been saying to skip the banquette although I like the potential for storage in the seats. sena01did the great render, I just tweaked in photoshop.

Lose the bay window and the shutters at that window for starters. Do not paint the brick. Change out the front door for a single door with two sidelites and clean up the landscaping, especially the overgrown bushes on the right and balance the hedges/bushes when replacing.
