Christine — you’re describing two classic issues: a toilet stuck at the end of a “hall” that eats valuable bath SF, and a closet that only works if you walk through the wet room.

Since you don’t need a tub and you’re fine with two walk-in showers, you’ve got room to rethink the stack. A few principles that usually clean this up:

1. Pull the toilet off that dead-end run. Put water closet(s) on a short wet wall shared between the two baths (or one WC per bath beside the shower) so you’re not dedicating a corridor to one fixture.

2. Treat the two showers as a paired wet zone on the shared wall — keeps drain/vent lines tight, waterproofing simpler, and both baths feel intentional instead of leftover space.

3. Give the primary closet a door straight off the bedroom. Best case: steal a slice of the current bath/closet wall and flip the closet entry to the bedroom; keep any bath access to the closet as optional/secondary or eliminate it. Walking through a shower room to get dressed is what makes the layout feel “wrong.”

4. Before moving walls, check what’s load-bearing and where the stack is. Back-to-back baths often share a plumbing wall — that’s gold if you keep wet fixtures on it, expensive if you chase toilets/showers to opposite corners.

If you can post the existing dimensions (or a quick sketch with door swings), it’s easier to say whether a full flip is one weekend of framing or a bigger stack relocate. Happy to look at a plan markup.

Thanks! Great insight.

It’s a lot of change, but would you consider this? Created a hall, so the master bedroom has more privacy and the living room more usable space. Closets flank a central passageway/dressing area to the bathroom. The door to this new hallway could be anywhere, depending on how you use living and dining spaces. I considered between dining and living, to define them? right next to the kitchen? slightly in from the kitchen to separate the second bedroom a bit more?

What about something like this. A tub in the hall bath would be good for a smaller footprint.

The hall bath would be 8'8" by 7'8"

Your master bath would be 5 feet by about 11 or 12 feet? Not sure if window in bath works at that location.

I need to understand where the plumbing and stack are before any changes are made . Back to back bathrooms are a very efficne tway to handle plumbing . Is this home part of a condo type system or completely stand alone ? I assume the toilet is in a toilet room at the end of that very odd hall and where is the other toilet . These need to be shown for understanding what can be done . Is there access to the plumbing from below ? Too much missing info IMO

I think Patricia brings up some critical questions. Changing around plumbing is very expensive so I would be getting a contractor into the house to discuss what is doable, practical and within your budget.

Thanks for all the comments. Looks like I have to get more info about the plumbing and stack before making any decisions.

Another thing to consider is if your on a slab or a crawspace? Basement would be nice! That way it would be easier to move. If your on a slab, thats another monster but will be a cost increase.
