To open doors properly you need clearance for the doors to open 46 1/8 inches is required for the french doors to open to 90* angle. Based on your described layout your only option is a single door refrigerator with the door hinged on the right to allow it to open all the way and still be able to buy a larger size model. Any side by side or french door design realistically isn't an option for your needed configuration. You can still get a freezer on the bottom or top just have to look for them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The cabinet for the refrigerator has a width of 32 3/4" (33.75"). The Installation Clearance for the sides to allow for air flow around the unit is 1/8" (0.125") on the sides, 1" on the top and 1" in the back. The Installation Clearance measurements (1/8" [.125"]) and the width of the refrigerator (32 3/4" [32.75"]) add up to 33". The cabinet for the refrigerator, (Depth without door) is 29". Add the 1" installation clearance, that will be 30". If you have walls past that 30" depth, you will need a clearance of at least 41 1/8" for the doors to open 90° when the handles are on the door. For the doors to open 90°, each door needs 4 1/2" clearance. The same measurements are given for the refrigerator without the handles on the door. In other words, for the door to open 90° without handles on it, you need a clearance width of 36.25". As to if your doors will open wide enough will depend on the proximity of the walls to the doors if you have walls or cabinets that extend beyond the 30" (i.e. 29" refrigerator cabinet + 1" clearance space behind the refrigerator).
