Found a listing photo today to share with you. It seems that the sellers remodeled the master bath and, in the process, removed the wall separating it from the master bedroom. Here's a picture of it. Would this "open concept bathroom" be an issue for buyers in your area?

For me it's a turnoff. What if someone was trying to sleep or go to sleep with the light and noise coming from the bath space. I believe in a bit of separation between sleeping area and bath.

Weird. Definite no for me.

wow! so much for privacy in that bathtub. that's as bad as an open house I went to once where there was a large window above the bathtub, which looked out over the street below. anyone in that bathtub would be seen by the people on the street or in the house across the street. makes no sense at all.

Thanks, Jewel, for posting this one - we needed something new to lighten up the mood and, quite frankly, make us laugh!

Okay, trying to be serious for just a minute, MAYBE this is just the master bathroom - spread yoga mats on those beautiful hardwood floors - and the master bedroom is located elsewhere? Nah...

Well, then maybe... I've run out of possibilities. Think the current owners should finish their project and put the wall back up! Who knows, maybe demolition of the wall led to putting the house up for sale? At least, they kept the toilet out of sight!

I can understand sellers being irrational but would hope their agent brings them back to earth soon... be fun to follow the progress of this listing. Looks like a beautiful house actually with no boundaries - people like "no boundaries" these days, right?

Where is the sink?

Here's another photo that shows the sinks. There's definitely no sleeping for anyone else in this open concept room once those vanity lights flip on or the shower is started!

about 30 years ago my brother and his W designed their extremely spendy home with just such an open bathroom/mbr. the bidet is no more than 6 feet from the bed and were you to walk in your sleep you would fall into the sunken tub.

Goes to show you can't buy taste.

I could be wrong but that looks like bath area, sink/dressing area leading into the walkin closet which probably leads to the sleeping area. I'm basing my guess on the 2 photos shown and the homes I have shown in the past.

Way too much sharing!!!!!

After having worked nights for over 10 yrs....I can sleep thru pretty much anything...lights, shower, toilet flush. But I could never sleep on the morning of my night off cause the neighbor always ran his lawn mower under our bedroom window at 7am. that morning!
I'm not bashful so it wouldn't bother me...I'd just have a show while DH was using it!

Sure that previous owners were not the authors of "Fifty Shades of Grey" LOL

It's a shame they decided against some sort of divider, screen or wall there. It's such a nice looking home and renovation.

I agree with previous posters, a little too open for my taste.

Just seems a bit austere to me...but a trio of large potted plants as one enter thru the door would be nice.
