Bath renovation for a flip

[Rao V.]

Hi,

I have a bath renovation going on for a flip. Can you guys suggest if a washer dryer in a master bath is a good idea or not? They will not be in a closet but may be separated by a 4 feet wall on the side.

The reason I am asking is that there are already all connections available if I keep the washer/dryer location same but then it is in the master bath.

The alternate design is to move washer/dryer to a side, in a closet and be totally separated with master bath but then it will cost more as I will have to pay for extra plumbing/electrical and vent.

any ideas?

First, everything is going to be dependent on what is typical in your area for the types of house your renovating/selling.  

Now, that said, I think it's pretty uncommon for to have a washer/dryer in the master bath.  Unless the master is huge, I have a feeling most people would prefer to have the extra space in the master for other stuff.

It may cost a bit more to move the plumbing, but unless you're seeing other houses in your area that have a washer/dryer in the master, it's probably better to spend the money and make the house more conventional.
