    house that has a full bathroom (tub, sink, toilet) and a secondary bathroom (toilet, sink, shower)

    Is this a two bathroom house or a 1 1/2 bathroom house?

    I mean, those are technically three-quarter baths. full bathroom has four parts: sink, toilet, tub, shower.

    That's only three holes in most places. Shower-and-tub or shower-or-tub interchangeable.

    If you can shit and shower and brush your teeth/wash hands afterwards is a full bath to me.

    Little room under the stairs with a sink and toilet that only guests use? That's a half-bath (even though, yes, there is not even a half of a bath.)

    2. A half bath is just toilet and sink with no shower and/or tub.

    If there's a toilet, sink, and separate bidet it's a 3/4 bath. A lot of people don't know that.

    I understand this, it's semantics but some places insist on requiring both to have it considered a full bath. my house has two full baths but only one including a tub and then another half bath downstairs and yes, I'd list it as 2.5 baths (or 2.1 depending on the region, I guess).

    it is highly suggested to keep a tub in your house. you lower your potential audience on selling when you don't have one because they're a necessity for children. like, not having a tub will remove you from that market of buyers instantly unless they're going to remodel.

    The shower only option is not smart for resale for the aforementioned kid reason but it’s still 100% a full bathroom.

    It's definitional not opinion. A full bath has bathing capability, a half-bath does not. The presence of both bath and shower is irrelevant... either or both still constitute a full bath.

    I get that and its important to keep at least one bath in the house due to kiddos but as long as you have a sink, toilet, and either a shower or shower/tub combo that should count as a full bath

    I just asked Jeeves:

    A three-quarter bath, also known as a three-quarter bathroom, is a bathroom with three of the four main components of a full bath: a sink, toilet, and either a shower or tub. Some three-quarter baths have a shower stall without a bathtub, while others have a bathtub without a shower.

    Changing rapidly in home design. Shower-only master baths are grabbing plenty of share in smaller homes, as long as there is another bath with tub for the kiddies. Larger homes still have both... walk-in shower and a big showpiece tub that rarely gets used is the high end. I've even seen the showpiece standalone tub IN the walk-in shower.

    I think the 3/4 bath thing may be a realtor thing for listings. Like I said above, I've never seen an appraiser list anything but a 1/2 or full bath and I've done loans in all but like 5 states.

    it is, I used to do IT for a brokerage (granted that's been some time ago) and would see 3/4 baths on listings depending on what agent was listing the property. like I said, it was semantics. I wouldn't argue against any combo (tub, shower, or both) being considered a full bath.

    there's so many conflicting guidelines that's how you end up with stuff like I listed above where 2 full baths and 1 half is either 2.5 or 2.1 on a listing.

    the amount of people who can't figure out the concept of showering first to clean yourself then using the tub to relax is staggering.

    Bath first is preferred, otherwise you're still soaking in your own juice at some point.

    what in the world.

    1) clean self in shower

    2) fill tub

    3) enter tub clean

    this is not a difficult concept. if you continue to "soak in your own juice" then you failed step one.

    the whole point was about people who don't want to "soak in their own juices". you do this by showering first and entering the bath while clean.
