Bathroom Renovation Decisions - Better ROI moves

[Bryan Clement]

Hello, I have a problem, and that problem is a standing shower stall with the washer and dryer right next to it. I have to renovate the bathroom because it is in bad shape, but the standing shower is not in terrible condition. This is the only bathroom in the house, and the way the house is set up (fairly small) to fit a new shower and full-length tub in, I'd need to make a small addition to move the washer and dryer into. Is it worth the ROI to build a one room addition for $2k just to add the full length tub? House is a 3 Bd 1 Bth. Loan payments would not be an issue I'm just trying to figure out which would be the better move. Worried a family with young is gonna look at that standing shower and say, no thank you! Resulting in me having a difficult time getting the house rented. Any input is appreciated!

I dont know your market or your area, but if that was here by me, it would be an absolute yes, it is worth adding a full bath with tub and separate laundry. Since you are adding that already, if the layout was possible, I would even add a second bathroom since you have 3 bedrooms. That adds tremendous value to mat homes in most areas.
