One Bathroom In The House, Can I Remove The Tub and Only Have A Shower?
That’s what I was asked by someone a few years ago.
The short answer, is “Of course, it’s your home. You can do whatever you like”.
But
What if(and he had indicated he might) I ever want to sell?
Well, there will be buyers who will be looking for a tub as well as a shower. His particular home had a shower over the tub. It depends on the size of the home. The other amenities. Lots of things come into play with a decision such as this.
Will removing the tub make my home unsellable?
It’s all in the execution of the remodel. We have seen the good, the bad and the ugly in real estate and in the world of remodeling. My suggestion in this particular case...Go for what you like..and how you live…
Are you planning on selling today? In the next six months? Next Year? Maybe, someday? Or and I love this one -- I'm not leaving until they carry me out in a pine box. The answer may depend on your future plans and the timing of those plans.
He did remove the tub….and created a very nice bathroom that fit his needs.
And he did eventually decide to sell. And fortunately, he chose me to represent him.
And not only did prospective buyers and open house visitors like the bathroom they loved it.
In fact, there were multiple offers and a final selling price substantially over the list price.
