shall I buy this house?

[myfs_157417]

Dear master,
We found this house, it is E1 facing. My husband and are both west group. our best directions are NE/SW, I make more money than he is. I have several concerns for this house:
1. The facing is not ideal,
2. the kitchen is in the NW corner, see attached floor plan. I plan to renovate the kitchen, but not immidiately. what shall I do during the interim period? once I move the stove and micorwave over to another corner, will that solve the problem?
3. most likely, we will use gararge door more offten than main door for every day use. from gararge, we will walk into a mud room (W/D room), and then kitchen. Doors are fcing each other. does that create a problem? please refer to the floor plan
4. there is a big, healthy tree right in front of the house, block a lot of eat light.
We like to house other wise, but it is a big purchase, and we will live there for long time. I want to make a right decision. Thank you very much for your guidance!

Not sure what you are trying to imply, here. But if the tree is healthy, that is a plus point. As to whether it is big or block sunlight depends also. If the house face west, then the tree can add some welcoming shade.

Thank you very much foryour answer, I would like to make couple clarifications.
1. The house facing is very bad for my husband, since he is a west group. East is the worst direction for him. Should I be concerned?
2. I understand that kitchen should not be in the NW section of the house, that is why I am thinking of renovate the kitchen. After renovation,the stove will facing east, which still is a bad direction for both of us. Which one is worse? Stove in NW section, or stove facing bad direction?
3. The tree is very health fruit tree, however, it blocks light from east, make the entry dark. Since east is not a good direction, shall I leave it? The door is east facing, can I install a water feature outside of the front door?
Thank you again for your guidance.
