In my old house, when it was renovated, someone took out a closet in a bedroom and installed a bathroom there. In order to have a closet in that room, they took 1/2 the closet depth from another room and 1/2 from the room needed the closet in.
When I was a child, I lived in an old house that had a full bath in the basement. That was creepy scary as it was an unfinished basement.
I remember seeing a house with a half bath under the staircase. The staircase was moved to the side on the first 6 or so stairs giving enough room under there. I hope this makes sense.
Start looking at your floor plans - might need to knock down a few walls and rearrange things and then reroute plumbing and electrical and put new walls up. If you have basement space, I would utilize that area too, but finish out at least part of the basement otherwise it really is not attractive to future buyers.
I have a friend who stole a really tiny corner off her kitchen (about 4x6) and installed a corner sink and toilet in there. It does the job. Nothing fancy but does the job. She was also able to put it along the wall where existing plumbing was in place which reduced costs substantially. Most folks want a 1/2 bath just so they don't have to go upstairs.
Little difference if you have to go downstairs.
thank you. you know what, i am going down to the studs so maybe i should get the plans and change things around.
