convert 2nd full bath to half bath?
Comments (7)I agree with Palimpsest's suggestion of making it a 3/4 bath (i.e. a full bath with a shower instead of a tub). That would let you shrink it so it doesn't eat into the LR, and create more separation, but it will still list as a 2BR/2ba on any real estate listing. (I've never seen "1.75 bath" in a listing--a full bath is a place where you can wash yourself, and whether that's a shower or a tub it's still a full bath; AFAIK people just call it a 3/4 bath to be more precise, but a realtor's still going to call it 2 bath). I think the 3/4 bath idea will accomplish both of the things you want to accomplish here. It will let you shrink the space and give it more separation and privacy, but it will still keep your house technically as a 2BR/2ba, so when you're trying to sell it, potential buyers won't automatically cross you off the list as soon as they read "1.5 bath" in your listing. Also, maybe this is a stupid question, but not seeing your layout I can't be sure. So here goes: Is there any way things can be reoriented in that bathroom so that it doesn't open directly into the living room? What are the other walls adjacent to, and what's nearby, and where is it at least theoretically possible to move the door to? Could it possibly open into a hallway?...See MoreConverting 9'x8' Bath into Combined Bath/Laundry Room

Comments (8)I would opt for bigger bath and one shared closet. Would overall be less cramped for space. If you do the closet with a wall closet system with various drawers and hangers there is more than ample space for you both. If not, then you have too many clothes. In my closet I have 3 drawers and a hanger above those in multiple areas, then I have hangers for long clothes, and we have corner shelving and shelves for storage on top. Lots of space. Shoe rack on the floor under the long clothes....See MoreFull Bath to Half Bath for a nice Laundry Room & Mudroom?
Comments (7)Does the third bath function as a powder room that just happens to have a shower or is there another reason for it? Pool bath? Shop or outdoor cleanup before entering the main house? Can't really think of any others, but those might be reasons why someone would pay more for a full bath in that location, but if it's functionally a powder room, a shower wouldn't seem to add any value at all -- functional laundry space will....See MoreNicole Foster
