Serious question with funny picture

Probably a lot since it looks like flooring would have to be replaced and the ceiling would need to be redone too.

Sorry this isn't very helpful.

What an odd room, lol. I have no idea the cost, but if there is no other master bath, I'd consider keeping it and just building a wall. Is there a shower in there too?

[EloiseWeenie]

Are you moving to the Poconos?

[emjacobs]

I don't know costs but from what I can see:
All flooring would need to be ripped out and replaced
Tub and tile removed
Wall patched and leveled out, or take the tiled portion down to studs and re-drywall
Take the bumpout out of the ceiling, re drywall.
Remove the towel bars
cap off all plumbing
Repaint
Remove the vanity
Take the plumbing down into the wall / floor, cap off
Remove any tile / mirrors on the wall
Patch

The sink honestly wouldn't bother me especially if there is no master bath, it would be a nice place to get ready, wash my face, brush teeth, etc while someone else is showering / otherwise occupying the bathroom

I would also consider leaving the ceiling bump out and adding lighting to make it a reading nook but it looks like there is a shower head hanging down.

Well, the removal is pretty cheap. It'll be the "make it pretty" afterwards that costs a bunch.

Seriously, though - it looks like you'd need at least a plumber, electrician, drywaller, and flooring guy to fix that. I'd say probably in the realm of $5-10k, depending on COL and what you would want to replace it with.

wow, the tub is SO close to the bed. I do think that something like that would really motivate me to get out of bed in the morning since I wouldn't really have to go far to go set up a bath.

I'm sure it's one of those things that was crazy expensive to put in and will be crazy expensive to pull out.

What other gems would have to be fixed? I doubt that monstrosity is the sole laspe of taste in the entire house.

It kind of is. Everything else is really normal. I have no idea what they're doing with that. The other thing is that the house is listed as a 4 bd 2.5 ba and I'm wondering if this is the second bath. Can you make a room dual purpose and count it twice?

Kinda looks like it was a grandparents suite. I don't think they can consider it a bathroom without a toilet but that might be in the corner.

I have no idea of the cost to take it out. That is truly bizarre, its like a tacky hotel room. It might be cheaper to build a wall then rip all that out.

[ohjessica]

That is so weird. Why would they do that? Is that the master bedroom? Why would anyone want to live in a hotel room? If it's a guest room or something, I could kind of see why they would do that, still.... bad move! Not sure how much it could cost though, but I am guessing it would be a pretty penny.

DH and I stayed in a hotel that looked similar. lol
