Hi, sorry for a very late response. I came back with some detailed floor plans. The property is a single family in Shoreline, WA. The main floor shown below is roughly 1150 sqft. The property also has a ~800 sqft basement, 400 sqft of which is finished and I plan to finish the rest by adding a full bathroom, and making two bedrooms (both will be egress but one will be more of a family room than bedroom). 

My goal is to have a primary in the main level plus a powder room. So, at the end, the house should turn into a 5 bedroom (2 of which in the basement) and 2.5 bathrooms (3/4 bath + 1/2 powder room), and 1 full bath in the basement. 

For having a primary unit in the main floor, there are two ideas that we're thinking about. First idea is to add a powder room close to the kitchen. The con of this is it's going to take some space in the already small living area and I'm not sure if having powder room close to the kitchen is bad or it's considered ok. 

The second idea is to add the powder room in between the two bedrooms, making the left bedroom smalle (the primary in this plan is similar to the previous image, I forgot to update the floor plan again, sorry about that).

Please tell me what you think, and also I'd appreciate it if you have an innovative idea that you can share that's better than the ones I mentioned above. 

Thanks in advance. 

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.
