Master bath with 1 sink?
I know the general consensus in a SFR is the master bath should have a double vanity. But has anyone successfully kept the master with a single sink vanity? We are rehabbing our current residence, which is a 1965 buit brick ranch, 3/2. It is very dated but we are ripping out all of the faux wall paneling, doing all new trim throughout, and completely gutting the kitchen, among other things. Initially we felt we could just paint, and put in new countertops and sink in the bathrooms, but I think after we finish the kitchen and everything else, that the bathrooms will stick out like a sore thumb.
I really honestly like our master batj, it has a single vanity. About 48" wide, a large toilet, and then a tiled walkin shower. We couldn't fit a double vanity without completely gutting and expanding it. I don't think thay is necessarily out of the question down the road. But Im not sure it is necessary, especially at this price point.
If we redo it, there is a hall closet behind the shower that is about the same size as the shower that could be made into the shower, and then the existing shower space could be the water closer, and then the vanity can take the space from the toilet. All of this is over about a 5 ft high crawl space.
Thoughts?
