Is No Bathtub Really A Deal Breaker?
I am planning a remodel of the condo I currently live in, with plans to rent it in about 4 years. Its a 2 bdrm 1.5 bath ground level. The complex is townhouse styled with about 200 units. There are some families, but the majority of the residents are working couples or retirees.
I have done a bath room remodel before and did a tile tub surround. I personally hate bathtubs, and especially shower curtains. I would much rather remove it and put in a fancy tile shower with maybe a hotel style frosted glass partition. The area is large enough that someone could still wash a baby inside a plastic tub if needed. My questions is how much of a risk on resale, and renters would it be to not have a tub at all?
