It sounds too large for the room dimensions but maybe one side is open to another room and it's actually bigger then it sounds.

Op - yes I believe there is at a minimum 48” on each side for traffic.

Do you think this is a good size island for the space? Nothing on island. One large quartz slab.


Make a mock island out of cardboard or put a couch in the place where it goes, to give you an idea of size restrictions.

Op - yes one side has 3 cabinets with drawers. And there is an overhang and island seating for 6.

Can you add overhang on one of the long sides for seating?

Are you working with a kitchen designer? Seems like an appropriate question for them.

Will there be any cabinets underneath for storage? You might want to think about what you are storing under there and if you want cabinets/drawers that open on both sides or just one side.

If you want maximum workspace and ample seating it works.
8’ by 4’ will be better proportion and flow.
