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.
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.)
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.
Fwiw I've seen hundreds of appraisals and I've never once seen a bathroom with a shower listed as anything but a full bathroom.
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
elite tier is primary bath having a walk in shower and guest bath should have the shower/tub combo unless you’re a bath weirdo
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 haven’t taken a bath since I was a child but my wife takes one every night. Many people find that strange.
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.
Whoa. Reading in a hot bath feels great on the legs. Put some ice packs on them after you get out and hoo baby
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.
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.
