Our Powder Room is right beside our dining room. It's a bad spot. We are trying to decide what to do. We are thinking about switching the Laundry Room and the Powder Room. These 2 rooms are beside each other. This would involve some plumbing, maybe $350, since our basement is unfinished, luckily the ceiling access is easy. We currently have 1 full bathroom, upstairs.
We have 3 options:
1. Switch the Powder Room and the Laundry room. The cost would not be cheap since some plumbing and electrical work would be required. Also we would need to tear-down a small interior wall of about 50" and erect one of about 60". This would require a permit, I believe. But the drywall and painting I could do myself.
2. Turn the Powder Room into a Pantry and finish the Bathroom in the basement. We already have the rough-in in the basement and I can install ceramic myself. This would cost a little more than option #1 I think. But add more value to the home. Except, not having a toilet on the main floor could be a turn-off to potential buyers down the road.
3. Switch the Powder Room and the Laundry room and finish the Bathroom in the basement. This of course is the ideal solution but also the most costly.
Any opinions on which route to take?
What is more of a turn-off do you think, not having a toilet on the main floor, or having a toilet right beside the dining room?
Does having a small pantry on the main floor appeal to anyone?
