Is the master one of these bedrooms? Is it just a 1 bathroom house currently? Wondering if you can free up some space by adding only a half bath.

We moved our laundry from the basement to the 2nd floor master bedroom closet about 6 years ago, and love having it on the bedroom floor.. Often, we do laundry in the evening as I'm going to bed. The only thing that bothers me is if we forget to turn the cycle signal off.

Put the closet in bedroom three on the wall that the laundry is on.. the clothes and closet doors would help insulate from the sound

Right now the location of the closet in bedroom 3 is helping buffer the noise of the plumbing for the bathroom so I’d leave that. If the plumbing for the laundry stays on the outside wall and you insulate well the wall in between I don’t think sound should be a problem from the laundry. However, I’d add a pocket door separating the entry from the laundry.

How about soundproofing in the wall?

Pocket door is not a good solution if the goal is to minimize noise. Make sure the machines are on a very stable floor system. That should minimize vibration.

A friend of mine has her laundry room right between the bedrooms and she cannot do laundry at night when her kids are sleeping as it makes too much noise, even with the door closed.

Is there a reason you need to move it out of the garage?

Thank you for all the feedback. Yes, I will definitely look into soundproofing the wall - I'm not sure how well the soundproofing works?

We want to move it out of the garage to free up room in the garage for DH's workshop, and also out of convenience so we don't need to go outside.

Could you move the bathroom to butt against the laundry? The is move bedroom back into that space? Would buffer and share plumbing, which is nice. Or slide everything down and over toward front door and swing laundry to be between the two bathrooms? If that is the master you could make en suite? Also, could you switch front door and laundry? Can’t tell if that is existing.

noreaster10 - thank you for the idea! Do you mean something like this? I didn't think about putting in a laundry room without external walls before - do I need to worry about ventilation?

I also need to figure out orientation of the new bath as it would share a wall with bedroom 2 so maybe need to put the bed up against the external wall and re-orient the windows instead of putting it against the shared wall with the bath.

I'll just say that last plan you posted will not work for a number of reasons. Showing wall thicknesses and actual needed clearances you will see that you are trying to fit too much in. You are also not seeing any economy in construction costs the way you are laying out the plumbing. You may want to consider the European way of combining a bathroom and a laundry cabinet and investing in a talented architect that works with small spaces in your area.

Thank you for the feedback. You're right - I didn't consider the plumbing, so would need my architect to tell me what would make more sense. I will also see if we can bump the front of the house out further to create more room to fit everything.
