We did this in a Williamsburg. Close to the same layout as Gardenia.
We ended up replacing all of the cabinets, flooring, new granite counter tops with sinks and faucets. We filled in the space with the drop down with a pull out dirty clothes hamper. We increased the number of drawers from 6 to 12.
Spent about 12K with 4 different vendors. Came out great and we are very happy with it. Took about 3 weeks from start to finish
