Add a Master Suite??

4 bed 2.5 ba house. 2 Bed upstairs 2 bed downstairs..legal with egress. Under contract and will cash flow nicely. B to B+ area.

Issue is the previous owner remodeled around the water shutoff and septic clean out in bedroom 4 in the basement.

The most obvious work around solution would be to cover it with a bed or build a removal box around it to "hide" it. The problem with the bed is that if you need to get to water shut off for emergency you're going to have to get under and or move the bed...could be precious time.

Option 1: There is a bonus room in the house behind the kitchen with a .5 ba attached. Considering converting to master suite. This would bring 3 beds up stairs. A 4th in the basement and then 5th is the "Water line room" which could be a game room/storage/toy room and box cover the water pipe hopefully eliminating the need for a bed in there.

Option 2: Leave everything as and just spend the money on kitchen update.

Option 3: YOUR IDEAS!

Thanks

Bonus Room w/ .5 bath off kitchen for master suite.

I'd go with option 2 if this is a rental. It doesn't look that terrible and it could be hidden pretty easily with some sort of furniture. Just make sure it stays accessible.
