Awkward Kitchen Layout

I have a Project i'm looking to rehab and sell. It has an awfully weird kitchen layout where there's a doorway to an additional sink and cabinet space. The house is a 3/1 1950sf. Will be keeping my costs down by going more on the low end side.

Two thoughts:

1) Get a contractor to turn the little room into a powder room. The house has been vacant and the copper has been stolen so need to run pex anyways. The negative is that you have a weird kitchen without much cabinet space. And it would cost more. You might scare off buyers with the layout and lack of cabinet space

2) Wall the doorway off and use the space as additional counter/cabinet space. The door adjacent to the left is the patio door and the existing room could be used as a storage room. If I spend my money in the kitchen, I think it may sell the house better than losing the cabinet space with the powder room and create a better layout to utilize the kitchen.

Also, I would like to get rid of the window and utilize the space as cabinet space. Not sure where to relocate the sink and place the refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher.
