Like many of us, I thought this was a (questionable) feature, however looking at the mesh of this object it is clear that the window is intended to be transparent. The glass is separate from the rest of the mesh and has been assigned the PhongAlpha shader, and 6 of the 7 cabinet variations have bowls/kitchen clutter inside the cabinet, behind the glass. These additional clutter items in the mesh strongly indicate that they were meant to be viewable though the windows. Pictures attached demonstrate what happens if alpha channel of the texture is changed to include transparency - no other aspect of the item was changed.

 

Additionally, the 6th, 7th and 8th swatches of the item are incorrectly tagged. The dark blue swatch is tagged as grey, this dark brown swatch is tagged as white and the light blue swatch is tagged as grey.
