Looking for suggestions to add washer+dryer on main floor

Hi everyone,

I just purchased a new rental property 3 bed up 4 down that I will be taking possession in a few weeks. I am doing a few changes including legalizing the basement suite and one place I'm struggling to find a good solution is on adding a washer+dryer on the main floor. I've attached pictures of the current setup, my plumber wants to put them in the middle bedroom's closet (the one with the foggy window) but they would be sticking out a bit and I also plan on renting this house by the room so that could be a problem to have the laundry in one of the rooms. I've attached pictures of the property. Let me know what you think :)

Main floor:

Hi @Anthony Therrien-Bernard  I think having a 2nd washer/dryer unit is a good idea if they are separated. I would definitely not put the washer/dryer units in the bedroom closet though. I think you could get away with a setup in the living room to the left of the electric fireplace, without it looking too weird. I would rather have it look a little unorthodox and in a shared space, than in the bedroom.
