built-in versus free-standing fridge/freezer?

I have a broken 70-30 built in fridge freezer, standard 60cm width. see attached picture.

Dishwasher you can see is standard 60cm. Window is wider than the space the dishwasher occupies so can't allow for fridge at 120cm width .

I have a separate small drawer freezer so not sure I even need the freezer bit.

Will be the last time I replace before I sell (when they drag me out screaming ) so now completely confused as to what to do? Next to water etc so can have a dispensing one.. match with a similar? As you can tell the design of this bit of my kitchen is remarkably bland and while clean etc sparks no joy.

Potentially can move dishwasher one space left if I have to. Am ridiculously right to left when washing up so need a little bit of counter space to the right of the sink so my brain works.

Thank you so much for any and all opinions.

Any creative ideas truly welcome.

Seeing as you already have the unit, you may as well go built-in and put the new one in the same unit.
Built in are more expensive than free standing, and you get less usable space, but it sounds like space isn't too much of an issue for you?

If you were starting from scratch, I'd go freestanding, but if you take the unit out, you'll have to tidy up paintwork etc, and you'll lose the nice streamlined look you have now.
