To keep or not to keep existing bathroom??

I currently have a 3 bedroom / 2 bath home. We are looking at enlarging our master bedroom and adding on a larger bathroom.


The dilemma...do we keep the existing bathroom for the master as is and use it as a 3rd bathroom, or do we gut it and breakdown the wall between it and our laundry room to also enlarge the laundry room???


Our current bathroom is from the 70s and is approximately 5' x 7'. We want to add a much larger bathroom with custom shower, toilet closet, double sinks, etc. But I hate the idea of gutting an existing bathroom that could just be updated and used by one of our children later on. Also, i'm worried about possible plumbing issues that may come up when gutting and cutting off pipes to that bathroom. But, I also like the idea of enlarging our laundry room, which is also very small.


What would you do?
