Hello all,

I am hopeful that I will find some answer here.

I got this one:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/eModernDecor-Workstation-42-in-Farmhouse-Apron-16G-Double-Bowl-Stainless-Steel-Kitchen-Sink-w-Integrated-Ledge-15mm-Tight-Radius-WSEFSO4221R/312913273#overlay

This is a Workstation 42 in. Farmhouse Apron 16G Double Bowl Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink w/ Integrated Ledge- 15mm Tight Radius.

Where can I find a sink cabinet for one?

it will be great if I could find something that can fit as is.

Those sorts of sinks almost always require custom built cabinets as the sink depths vary widely along with widths. If you can find one that will match the width and is shorter than necessary, a competent woodworker can fill in the gap with a filler piece and then paint it with matched paint.

Pretty interesting that there are basically no 48" width cabinets available, apron-skirt or not.

I would get two 24" cabinets, attach them together, and hack out the middle (joined sides).  With the off-center drains you could even leave most of the middle spine to support the sink and make it feel super solid.

It would be DIY-able with "frameless" cabinets.  Get doors (maybe 12" wide doors, would look kind of cool to have 2 pairs of doors under the sink) that almost go to the bottom of the sink.  Then with the matching panel/filler material make a U-shaped piece that fills the voids to the left, bottom, and right of the sink.

Like above, we did some custom work.

Using a cabinet with the right dimensions and a fake drawer in the front, we carefully cut out the front, inserted the apron sink, and used matching fillers on the sides.

Cabinets are generally available in 3" increments. So, 24", 27, 30", etc.
42" sink base cabinets are available at any number of online resources.
Have you contacted a cabinet shop or cabinet seller in your area?
I generally work with a kitchen cabinet designer who buys from one semi local large cabinet shop. The quality is good and she knows all the tricks, which I sometimes forget!
Your choices are a flatpack shipped cabinet that you assemble (ikea-ish); a cabinet shop or design shop as i described aboved that will deliver a fully assembled and finished cabinet, or a full custom cabinet maker that will build whatever you spec, to order.
Prices increase accordingly.

It is debatable that this would be installable at all in a 42" cabinet, seeing as the sides are flat (not just flanges on top for max width) and the actual width is listed as 42".

Yes probably if you plan on cutting away the top of the side panels and having the counter there be supported only by the side panel of the adjoining cabinet.
No if you are hoping to "find something that can fit as is."

I wonder where you would get a 60-70" wide cabinet as shown in the installation instructions...

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
