What is a "2/1" ?

It may be in your best interest and a good investment to hire that world renowned bathroom designer.

Put the toilet on the same wall as the vanity, with a partial wall separating it. Then you can have a wall cabinet above the toilet from wall to wall, instead of a linen closet. And the shower and tub can take up the opposite wall.

Mark, 2/1 is 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house.

So what is happening with the bathroom on the left. If you are keeping that bathroom and the room has a tub, that may be all you need and you can put in a larger shower in your bathroom.

You said you use the shower every day. How often would a tub in the master bathroom be used? If not at least every other day (or night), skip the tub and put in a large shower with a bench seat at one end.

It’s staying, but a very small alcove tub. That’s what we were originally thinking, then shrinking the footprint of the additional and thereby saving some money.

My lovely wife would enjoy the ability to soak in a tub, and also maybe good for resale?

Thanks! Very helpful. Maybe we’ll do that to try to trim the project costs down and simplify our lives.

How does this addition relate to the rest of the house? Your giving up windows on 2 walls in the bedroom for the bath. In fact your closet winds up with the best corner. Show the full floor house plan

And no a second tub will not add much for resale

cpartist brought up good points. Converting the current bedroom to the bath/closet area may also save money because it would be next to the existing bath... on top of allowing you to place the master bedroom in the "best corner".

Here's the house plan.

@cpartist thanks for your thoughts.

this entire house plan. unfortunately, i don't think there's the way to do it because the "best corner" can't get any wider...

a 10 foot depth for a master bedroom won't work.. right?

I think 10ft is too narrow for a master bedroom personally, however you do have that sort of pinch point in the existing bedroom as well.

I think I would consider moving the bathroom to the outside corner instead of the closet and have a walk through area for his/hers closets and you can have more light in the bathroom at least. Also would be closer to the dresser when getting ready than current arrangement.

It would be further to walk though to the toilet, but less noise to travel in the middle of the night too. All trade off only you can decide on.

If one of you would love to use the tub on a regular basis then I'd keep the tub. Yes more expensive, but if regularly used and appreciated then it might be worth it. The other tub seems like the kind that is great for bathing little children and not for an adult to soak in. Only if you have plans to remodel that room and add a deeper tub would I skip a tub in the master.

Sell the house and buy the house you really want. You’ll never recoup them investment.

I’d love to see you get a third bedroom, but it would take some re-working of all the bedrooms.
Either way, I think the size of your master bath is overkill.

@live wire oak: it might be the right financial decision even if they won't technically "recoup" the investment. We added a 12x16 laundry room/office/powder room to our 2/1 house and spent about $15K on it. It probably didn't increase the value of our house by $15K, but it kept us in a lower tax house, avoided transaction fees of selling and buying, and gave us oodles of added functionality. So it was absolutely the right financial decision.

That's a fantastic sized bathroom, and it will definitely help the house sell when you decide to move on. That said, to accomplish your goals, I'd look at moving the toilet to the vanity wall, thus giving you room for tub and shower there. 11' is ginormous for a vanity; I'd do 8' max. Then either make the closet bigger or shrink the entire footprint to save money.
