Trawl architectural salvage places and you may well come across something close to the original built in. Here is a huge version (they have a smaller one too) available in NH right now. They want alot of money for this one, and it's actually a complete butler's pantry, but you get the idea

Posting pics from the CL ads. None are antique but all have classic lines.

HUGE base and top, probably from a store(Vermont):

All those are nice-looking pieces of furniture. But because of its position in the serving pantry (between the kitchen and dining room) I've decided that it will be more practical to have the type of hutch with a gap and horizontal surface between the bottom and top cabinets, as I mentioned in my original post. I've made this a requirement in my search because, although I've never lived in a house with this configuration before, it seems more practical to have a place to set down food and dishes on their way to and from the dining room.

I've inquired about this new Canadian-made hutch; waiting to hear back (Some can be quite low; I like the ample height of the work space.) :

I'm also limited by the width of the niche where it will be going, 63" maximum, but trying to find something as close to that measurement as possible so as not to waste space.

PS: I was tempted by this 19th century hutch. I like its design and the wood, and it's the perfect width (60") for the space, but I think I'd get frustrated having no counter space in the pantry.

Have you tried to look for Hoosier cupboards? That might look good, and I usually see them pretty cheap on Craigslist.

Thanks for the reminder; I haven't used that search term in a while. A Hoosier cupboard would be ideal. So far there haven't been many on Craigslist, and the ones that show up have tended to be small (narrow).

I should probably have posted this photo in my original post, to show the niche where I want to put the hutch. It's taken from the kitchen doorway, looking towards the dining room. The dimensions are 63" X 30". A Metroshelf unit (48" long) with butcher-block top currently occupies the spot. It's handy, but it doesn't make the best use of the space.

There is also the option of putting the refrigerator and a narrow cabinet here. I'm on the fence about that - but tend to think more counter top would be better.

Excuse the mess. This was the afternoon I quickly went around and got 'grab shots' to be sure I had a photo of every room.

Thanks Willa for posting the pictures. I got lazy and only put the links for the CL ads. I agree, these all have decent Craftsman lines to them, but not vintage. The Hoosier Cabinet idea is a good one, my mother in law has one in her kitchen she uses some.
