I don't understand the idea of entering closet from the bathroom. The humidity will ruin your clothes and shoes. While someone is in the bathroom (for any reason), the other person cannot access his/her clothes and get dressed. At least in my life it is so -- when someone is using a bathroom, it is off limit to the other person. Our builder's original floor plan was in similar way - and that was the first thing we told them to change. It also created more wall space in the bathroon - for all kinds of storage/hooks, decor, etc.

If I were you'd I'd pose this question to Bevangel--often found in the building forum (you can locate a post by her, click her name, then email her through GW to ask her to post on this). She is very knowledgable about accessible homes/baths, etc. From another post she commented on: "Any room or closet that you want to make wheelchair accessible needs to have a wide enough door (32" minimum) for a wheelchair to get thru. Accessible bathrooms need to have a 5' diameter circle of clear floor space so that a wheel-chair can get turned around in them." So, I worry, right off the bat, that your bathroom isn't wide enough. Plus, having a glass shower front means you won't be able to put in a grab bar on that wall for use for a weaker person to get on/off the toilet.... I think that wall needs to be solid, at least from the half-way point down. If you cannot, under any circumstances move the shower's location, then I would make the closet narrower--at 4' wide only, and give the rest to the bathroom. If you can afford to cut the slab for a shower drain only (this won't be that expensive, in the grand scheme of things...), I'd try moving the shower to across from the sink/toilet and all the way "down" to the wall. Then, have your closet run across the right wall. If you draw that out, you might find you can get a wider area in the center of the bathroom for accessibility. Or, since it is a fairly square space (10x11) you might find that extra expense isn't worth it. Finally, I'd consider making the whole 10x11 space bathroom/linen closet, and building a closet on the door side of the bedroom (just a reach in). Bathroom space would look like a long bath, with lots of space in the "front"/bottom of it. And, along the bottom wall could be a reach in closet or cabinetry set up. This would give you the turning radius needed as well.

Our budget right now is $30k. I am not quite sure how much that’ll get me. I have never undertaken anything like this. This will absolutely be something we take on in stages. This space is what we’d like to tackle first and is the largest. In our kitchen at some point we will replace countertops and in our other bathroom we will swap out the toilet, tub and vanity. Luckily the rest of the house is functional for us. I lack the vision and knowledge that a lot of people on here have of being able to see a functional layout in disaster zones lol. My intuition tells me all these spaces can somehow be rearranged to give us what we need. I’m completely wrong, please help. Im also completely fine and understand if it’s impossible, financially or practically to have it all. I do have a consultation with a designer scheduled for this week (so excited), and I’m praying that she’ll have time to take us on as clients but I got excited and wanted to ask the Houzz community first. Thank you !!

Random thoughts: - Wow, that's a lot of stuff in a small space. While it fits, I don't think you have enough space for comfort. - You have nine doors in your master suite ... plus two more immediately outside the suite. In contrast, I have eleven in my whole downstairs. You've divided things too much; those doors will take up all your wall space. Consider that in the bathroom you have a separate room for the sink ... a separate room for the toilet ... and a separate room for the bathing apparatus. Those things are going to look odd each in their own rooms. You're empty nesters, so I assume aging-in-place is a concern for you? All these doors will be problematic if you have arthritic hands or mobility issues. - The worst door is the one on the toilet closet; this closet looks particularly small, and you won't be able to close the door once you're in there -- even if it were larger, these things are awful for elderly people. Consider, too, that you need some storage near the toilet ... for TP now, perhaps for other items once you're elderly. What you're doing is regulating yourself to a mall toilet stall; consider, too, that if you need to add grab bars to both sides of the room, the usable space in the room will decrease further still. You're going to use this toilet multiple times a day ... make it accessible and comfortable. - You're talking about a Japanese tub ... aren't these usually round? Yet your bathing room is laid out for a rectangular tub. - I don't like that the sink, the most used item in the bathroom, is going to be in a windowless room. - I like your connection between the closet and the laundry ... but you have no space for "waiting loads", no space for storage of detergent and other laundry items, no space for drip-drying items. Also, your dryer would be cheaper /more fire safe if it were placed on an exterior wall so you could vent it directly. - I see that the closet faces the front of the house, so I assume you need those windows-in-closet for symmetry ... but do consider what type of window coverings you'll use to protect your clothing from sun damage. - Your master is a nice size. - The exterior door in the master is an excellent idea ... for fire safety, if nothing else ... but what's the little bumpty-bump into which it opens? This is going to be expensive to build, and then it'll be odd to exit into that little space. If you incorporate that space into the master, you could have an overstuffed chair /footrest, which could be a great place to sit and read (if your lighting is right), and you could still have the exterior door in that spot. Yes! This general concept simplifies your overly-complex plan. It'll make access to these areas more convenient and will eliminate all those doors, doors, doors. Maybe lose all those entry doors /place ONE BEDROOM DOOR between the foyer and the suite, the spot where you currently have a cased opening. Not sure how the little office will be used, but agree with the other poster on putting the laundry there instead. Yes! How about moving the laundry to the office ... and put a built-in desk in the spot that currently holds laundry.
