What's the best decision in my situation?
Hi,
I'm about to close on a property in Seattle area. The property is 3B1B and I plan to add an extra bathroom it 3B2B. However the layout is not very straightforward (like below). I should add that there's stairs to the basement which is finished and it has a big area. What I'm thinking about is to combine bedrooms 1 and 2 into a large primary and add a full path adjacent to the current full path.

This will make it something like this (the dimensions are not accurate, just for representation) plus there's going to be the 3rd bedrooms in the basement, making it 3B2B.

Should I make this change? What other think about it?
I'm not sure whether having a bedroom in the basement is good enough. I'm open to ideas if anyone would like to share their opinion.

@Jaron Walling Sorry for late response. Yes, you're right. I'll open the kitchen a bit and add a counter top (not sure if an island would fit). Kitchen is not huge but decent size.
I plan to keep this thread as a diary for this project. Will keep you updated on the progress and what we decided to move forward with.
