home renovations
We are in the process of closing on a house. Most of the house is renovated or updated except for the 2 bathrooms. For this house the only changes we wanted to do are to put an island in the kitchen, and update/renovate the master bathroom.
For the bathroom, we plan on changing the tub/shower into a tiled walk-in shower. We are not tub people and never ever used the tub, but I know I do not represent everyone. There is a 2nd bathroom with a tub/shower and we only plan on repainting that not doing anything as drastic. Do you think that the lack of a tub in the masters bath will be a negative when in the future we sell the house, even if after the renovations the currently "blah" bathroom will look much nicer and updated?
Other changes of the master bath--convert vanity to 2-sink and get a mirror that fits vanity (right now it looks awkwardly small).
Re: home renovations
Thank you for the response! It looks like I may be ok then. I have thought about the baby too since we will be TTC soon, for which we will be using the tub in the 2nd bath (we have a single level so its not like you have to go down a flight of stairs, which makes this much easier for us.
I was just worried about spending money when it will cause the home value to go down.
I wonder if you can ever really know everything that will help or hurt long-term resale value. For awhile, I feel like people were adding whirl-pool tubs in master baths as the "it" thing to do. As we looked at homes, that big tub, that I knew would never be used, taking up all that space, was a complete turn-off for me.
