cost to put a cased opening there?
under a thousand and over 400.
Seems like you said a counter would be going next to one wall so that could complicate things as far as mechanicals (pluming ect) that might end up in wall.
The simplest scenario would be if wall is nothing but empty studs and maybe an electrical wire or two.
The carpenter would need to install short header under studs that are removed. Then casing would be trimmed out around opening. Drywall would need to be replaced/mudded at least around new header.

Thanks man. This may be the route I take. I'm not really keen on spending $3-4k to open this space considering I don't plan on staying in the house very long. I wouldn't mind putting a cased opening there and surfacing the bottom with matching granite. That would also allow me to put a couple of barstools on the living room side, if that makes sense.
eta: who would be the proper person to hire to put in a cased opening? Just a carpenter?
