It depends on your bathing/shower habits and if you want to sell the condo soon ( most people look for a master bedroom with a full bath). But if that doesn't matter then do whatever YOU want and if you mostly just take showers, then make a bath with great, big walk-in shower or even a steam shower. Or do master bath with a nice French tub to soak, or Jacuzzi type tub, or sauna, and the secondary bath with nice shower. Sometimes that depends on the layout of the bathrooms too.
Whatever you do, its you who will enjoy it

I think it is more often the second bath that has the tub. People with younger kids most likely wouldn't buy a place without a tub in the second bath.

Agreed. I can understand wanting to add a tub to the master, but I can't understand eliminating the tub from the second bathroom.

Elnina - love the shower you posted. We have a jetted tub in our master bath - never use it - it costs a fortune to fill that thing up with hot water....so it collects dust...we will have it taken out at some point. I think that a residence needs one bathtub though.

If you have tubs in both bathrooms, at resale you can claim 2 full baths. It may give your unit an edge over competing listings that would have 1.75 baths or less.

Or if you do a luxury .75 bath in the master, make sure your real estate agent puts a picture of that room online when you sell the house so people realize that it is a lovely bathroom.

If I saw a .75 master bath listed with a picture like elnina posted above it would be a huge selling point.

.75 is it really advertised that way on your area? in mine a shower or a tub makes it a full bath.

I personally would rather have a large shower in the master than a shower tub combo, and I'd also prefer a large shower to a soaking tub and small shower.

definately keep the guest bath as the tub in the house, unless there is a strong desire to have another shower.

I would add the tub to the .75 bath so it could be advertised as a 2 bath home. But I do think most people shower and my personal preference would be a great shower in the Master over a tub.

yeah I am going to go with the great shower thing.


I would think it would take so much time for the soaking tub to fill, and like most of us, how often do we really get to soak in a tub, (not that we wouldn't like to)......but I can just see after working a long hard day, finally getting into the "fantasy tub" and not more than 2 minutes go by.........I already hear: Papa, come here, my brother is bothering me, no you started!!!, No Papa, he took my crayons, No I didn't, Your a liar. Papa, make him give me my coloring book back, he broke my crayon on purpose. Papaaaaaaaaaaa


talk about a bath fantasy gone wrong!!!!

Daughter has condo with full bath in the master and second bedroom, 1/2 bath downstairs..
We recently took out the bathtub/shower combo in the master, and replaced it with a walk-in shower.
Rarely is a tub used unless you have kids to bathe. We still have one tub in case the future owners have kids.
