Hello. I am in the process of purchasing a house. It is a ranch house. Now I do not have access to the house, closing is in a few days. I am trying to decide on a project that I would like to have completed before moving in. Closing is in Aug, not officially moving in until November.
The previous owner had the attached garage made into a nursery, so it’s just a finished empty room attached the master bedroom. He did add another garage in front of the previous garage. The main bathroom is on the small side. I would like to add a master bath (just a custom tile shower, sink, and toile)t. The master bedroom literally has a toilet and sink in a 2x4 closet, he added this because his wife was ill and mostly in bed…
-Option 1 Since the plumbing is mostly there in the 2x4 closet and it is against the main bathroom of the house that would be the easiest location for the mater bath, but then I would have to take down the wall dividing the master bedroom and the extra room. I believe there is a truss above this wall, which can be an issue correct? I have included an aerial shot of the house, the shaded blue area was the previous garage that they made the extra room; you can see how the trusses are.
-Option 2, seems it was the easiest idea, to make the extra room the walkin closet and master bath, but then I wasn’t thinking. If the previous garage was there then that should be just a concrete slab? Therefore it would be a bigger pain and a lot more $$ to get the plumbing in there. Thoughts?
Any different ideas?
the third image I have uploaded is something I put together explaining how the layout is currently today. The first two images are the only options I can think of.
