Is there a basement? If so,one is probably there.Is there a pool? If so,maybe out there somewhere. Maybe there is one in the garage..kind of a laundryroom/bathroom thing. I've seen that before.

No basement. Pool or guest house is not mentioned. I'm sure they would have if there was one. They mentioned everything else under the sun.

I thought about the garage too. So we can add that one to make five. Two more to go.

Overactive bladder for her and BPH for him? That's the only reason I can think of for two people to have seven bathrooms. 6.5K square foot house for two people? rofl. How could they ever accuse Americans of being wanton consumers?

My dh and I live in a 4K square foot house. I'd have never built one that size, and the raw materials for it were consumed two hundred years ago and alls we did was save it from demolition to conserve it so another ten generations can use it some more. Can you even imagine the fuel it would take to heat it/cool it? It is strictly none of my business how the other half of society lives but when, as a society, are we going to make hogging resources politically incorrect and encourage moderation?

I pointed out to my dh a few weeks ago an enormous structure going up on a hill (don't they all?) down the road from us. I suspected it was some sort of institution by the size of it. But, the dh says he believes it to be just a huge house. It overlooks hundreds of acres of pastureland and sticks out like a boil. It could have been beautiful if it were half the size and not sitting like some castle overlooking serfdom.

Very common in my area, workout room with large built in spa jacuzzi his and hers, one by each door(3), one in each of 4 bedrooms and one in the guest house above the garage. My customers house that just sold for 1.5 mil. situated a block from a 23 acre lake.

My thoughts go something like this.... You would need to choose color schemes for all those different bathrooms. Then you would need to find towels that would go with each one. Maybe all white to save time and energy? Boring, probably couldnt stand that. Then color it is. Laundering all those towels, and getting them back into the respective correct linen closet or bath, too much work. Seven bath mats, seven of everything. Too much choosing. Maybe they have staff, cleaners and designers to do it. That would be giving up alot of the fun, and control. Any way I get my mind around it, seven baths is too much thinking for me :)

All I can think of is cleaning seven toilets. It this hard water area, if it isn't done often, you have a hard water deposit with a ring of black mildew on it as the water evaporates. Oops! I forgot, the maid comes twice a week! No problem.

Seven really isn't so many...My parents lived in a very nice but not by any means palatial 4 bedroom house....and there were 3 full and 2 1/2 baths...and that house was built in 1932 or so.,...and people are more into bathrooms now. You add a swimming pool into the picture and a his and hers by the entrance to the pool and you easily get to 7.
I guess the thing is, with that much square footage, you want to have lots of biffys so you never have to travel too far to find one....

Biffy's? LOL That's anew one to me. I like it, Linda.

Oh good lordy, there were times in my life I was thrilled I had one inside facility! That's because there were four places I have lived where wasn't even one. I remember my little step brothers and sisters visiting my parents' house and standing there flushing the toilet over and over in amazement.

The most facilities I've ever had in one house was two and a half baths and I took turns using a different one every time.......just because I could.

Well....there are a lot of "polite" and some not so polite names for "the facility"
The Loo
The W C
And in French "Doublevee say"
The throne room
The porcelain god
The C...er (named after that famous was it an inventor and plumber, Thomas of the same name)
The Biffy
The Kybo
The John...
What else?

Here's what I'd say. Master suite has two bathrooms (one for him & one for her), 2 more for each of the other bedrooms is four. Like Don said, I'd say there's a work-out room with a bath, that's 5, & throw in two 1/2 baths for 7.

But PB, like you, I've got enough problems keeping two bathrooms clean, let alone 7.

Wwhen I grew up in Germany, the house had a Water closet - which was a toilet and a sink for hand-washing and there was a bathroom: tub and/or shower and,if one was fancy, a bidet - not in my environment, but I knew about these things.
That was before - and this was after:
The house suffered some bomb damage, so we had - fortunately - still the wateer closet, and a former bathroom, which, because of houseing shortages, also served as bedroom for my little sister and my little brother. The bathtub was gone, but there was a generous sink, which served as a wash-up facility, when the hot water heater worked - gas was rationed to three hours in the morning and a couple of hours late in the afternoon.
We all managed to stay reasonably clean, were lucky to have soap from the Black Market.
I remember though, that both my sister and I has tiny rooms - not bigger than closets,, upstairs, no facilities, and we had a bucket for emergencies. It was my turn to empty the bucket into the WC. I went down the stairs and slipped - oh no! Bucket spilled, I was drenched and, fortuately, the gas was still on - so Mother heated some water to get me washed. Every one thought it was hilarious- not I!
Amazing what one can endure - sometimes I have to remind myself of that.
