While we're looking at appliances, how about the Frigidaire 30" slide-in Induction Range? GCFI3060BF. $1393 at A. J. Madison (Labor Day sale).
5 elements, 6.2 cu ft convection oven. 30"W, 26"D, 36-3/8"H (front controls).
Focusing on the kitchen remodel, it's clear that a smaller refrigerator would a) probably work for my bachelor needs; b) work better in a more efficient layout--that is, fixing the dead NW corner; and c) would, like the small porch bench, make the kitchen seem bigger.
The current utility refrigerator is a GE GTS16DTHCRWW, a 16.6 cu ft model. 28"W, 32-5/8"D, 64-3/4"H. I bought it at Albert Lee, but today's model is GTS16DTNRWW, a 15.5 cu ft doppelganger for $660.
Peggy recommended a couple of units, noting that her LG refrigerator is 11.5 cu ft.
GE GLE12HSPSS is just 7.71 cu ft. 23-1/2"W, 26-1/2"D, 70"H. $1750 at A. J. Madison.
Frigidaire FRBG1224AV is 11.5 cu ft. 23.6"W, 27.2"D, 72.8"H. $1093 at A. J. Madison. Door swing is reversable. Digital temp control.

As Peggy points out, appliance retailers offer discounts when you buy a 3 or 4 item "package." The Madison web site is frustrating, however. You can't say "No microwave," and you can't ask for an induction range. But, in general, $2500-$3500 buys the wider refrigerator above, plus a dishwasher and electric range. Throw away the microwave, I guess.
Searching for freestanding, 24", 28" or 30"W, 22"-25"D, 10-15 cu ft counter depth refrigerators found 12 (but no GE or Frigidaire):
