Master Bath Remodel Help

11 months ago

We are struggling with what to do with a total remodel of a 90’s add-on master bath to our 1971 MCM style home. Currently we have a large Jacuzzi tub we want replaced, a new custom built-in MCM-style double vanity, and all new surfaces. The dilemma is in deciding whether to replace the tub with a wall-to-wall shower which would necessitate removing the windows that look out onto the back yard and river (no privacy issue). There is a skylight near this area and a transom window can be installed high on the now windowed wall. The current shower would be removed and supposedly cabinetry put in its place. The room has a linen closet, but may need to have the traditional door replaced with a pocket door if the shower is moved. Not really a problem, however.

Should we keep the 4-piece layout with a new soaker tub under the windows? There are three full bathrooms in our home and one has a tub/shower combo. Our builder thinks a shower where the tub is with a pony privacy wall of tile would be the way to go. The shower would need a door as the bathroom tends to be cold in the winter. I just feel conflicted with losing the windows. We are in our seventies, but are not wanting to hinge every detail on resale one day. Thoughts?
