How bad is it to buy a home w/ non eat in kitchen?

You work with what you have. I've lived both ways.

The fact that it has space for a couple of bar-stools at the counters can make a real difference. That's often all you need for a quick meal w. kids.

If this is the only issue and otherwise you love the house, go for it!

As for resale...would you worry about the kitchen if you sell the house in 15 years? Would you have any plans to renovate between now and then? If not, a new buyer would probably look at the kitchen with their own renovations in mind, since it will be an older kitchen at that point.

I suddenly realized... There is a kitchen table at my parents! But we never ate there, I dont think it would feel nice to me. Hard to explain, maybe cultural. It gives an older feel, or maybe a countryside feel, I really cant explain!
