VALUE ADD dinning room or bedroom

[Luke Schumacher]

Colorado Springs, Colorado.

I am flipping a home right now and am torn on one portion of remodel. There is a kitchen but no room for kitchen table or dining area. There is a front room down the hall that could fit a small kitchen table. OR - tear down the wall of the bedroom immediately next to the kitchen to create a dinning area/coffee and games area.

This is a 3 bed 1 bath as is. For STR is a 2/1 with dinning area/open concept with kitchen OR 3/1 with small area for table down the hall better? Concerned it would be weird having a dinning area down the hall from kitchen but dont want to give up a bedroom.

Thanks for any input and experience

@Luke Schumacher, I would agree with @Eliott Elias and say keeping the bedroom is likely the better option. This makes the most sense for resale as well as for an STR in my option. For our STRs in the Springs, we focus on increasing occupancy (AKA more bedrooms) and providing a quality stay with premium amenities. These things allow us to maximize revenue. Sometimes, due to the size and layout of our STRs which are mainly older homes in the downtown area, there is no formal dining room or table, but we try to find other ways to add seating and dining space throughout the home. Guests see their stay as temporary so the minor inconvenience of walking down a hall to get to the dining area will not be a big deal to them and will unlike influence reviews. Would love to connect sometime if you're in the Springs!
