Visitors and Need for Second Bathroom
I am hoping my condo sells in the next couple of months and I am trying to think of what type of home would best suit my needs.
I have been told that several friends and some family would come to visit me. I am conflicted over what to choose if this were to happen today. I have seen 2 bedrm's and 1 bath on TV pre-owned web site and it seems to be listing at a much lower price than the 2 bdrm/2 bath type patio villas, (the one's that I like). My son and granddaughter might come once or twice a year. I have a feeling that I won't get many visitors as it has been my experience they say they will come but don't. If this is the more likely scenario, would I be better off with the 2 bdrm/ 1 bath as I am single? Is the second bathroom mandatory if one is getting visitors? I was also wondering if 2bdrm/1 bath have a harder time reselling as opposed to 2b/2b? I don't plan on having to resell and move but I'm sure my son will have to sell this home one day. Any and all thoughts will be appreciated. |

Personally, I like the idea that my bathroom is private and that guests have access to another bathroom. Therefore, to me, a 2-bdrm, 2-bath is pretty much mandatory whether I have overnight guests or not. Remember, you'll also have people over for games, TV, parties, etc. Do you really want them sharing your bathroom?
And I think your instincts are right -- a two-bathroom home will probably sell easier than a one-bathroom. |
I really like the idea of not sharing my bathroom with guest. 2 BR-2 Bath is only thing I considered.

2B,
I completely agree with Red, NK and VillagesFlorida. We even picked a model with an extra half bath. Both Mr KB and I have "bathroom issues" and it is a relief to know there is always one available. I think the 2bed/2Bath villas are a good choice. Kate |
2bntv - it doesn't seem that you have taken into consideration that you are going to make lots of friends when you come to the villages - so you might want to think about the traffic your 1 bathroom would have to deal with when your villages friends come to visit. ;)

Definitely 2bed/2bath.

(Of course many of us were raised in one bathroom homes and did just fine). But if you can afford two bathrooms, good investment! |
I vote for two.
|
I vote for two also and is based on my recent visit to relatives house that have one BR. We have two in TV and when there aren't guests it is a his and hers set-up. The host and guests separation as brought up is a great point as well.

two baths
I think one would work fine ,or two ,or three,If you don't have constant friends and relatives invading your space ,looking for a cheap vacation................face it, if they can't wait their turn in the Bath then may it be possible that they are taking advantage of something you have worked for all your life..............How many baths can YOU use at one time, when no one is visiting ......I think that that is how many you need...Your loved ones will adapt.. PS.. If you don't want them to share your bath then someone has a problem.................

Another vote for 2 BR/2 Bath.
|
And yet another vote for two. If one breaks, you still have one operating.

Price vs Availability
I plan on being the type of person that will not move when I purchase in TV.
I don't like moving so I hope I get it right the first time. Second bathroom was 8K to 15K more for a one bath type patio villa, (for the ones I prefer). Peace of mind is priceless. We have all worked hard to enjoy ourselves so the extra money was a concern to determine if a second bathroom was mandatory for lack of a better word. Availability is important in times of need. Thanks guys, you are the best. |
