I also take issue that the remodeling of one bay will bring down the
value. There are just as many people who would *want* your well done
remodel as there are of the opposite.

I suspect that you are wrong there. If that were so, you would likely
see new home builder offering it as an option and I would expect to see far
more people doing this kind of remodel. Builders build what sells.

While it might be possible that a seller will find that one person who
wants the remodel (and happens to want it done the way the OP does it) and
likes the rest of the hose as well. I suspect selling the house will be a
lot easier without it. People looking for a home are going to pick the one
without the modification rather than buy one with it and plan on removing
it.
