I'm gonna be unconventional and say those old people walk in baths have always looked real attractive to me. You can get your whole body in the water right up to your neck, but it doesn't have a huge footprint. The downside is you have to sit there while the tub fills and drains unless you can ninja flip right over the door.




Aww yeah, that's the stuff.



Look how happy they are. Grandpa doesn't remember to undress before bathing anymore, but he can still have a nice soak in the tub.

loving is probably a not gonna happen tho.

That might not be his wife. If he lives in The Villages and he can still "drive the stick", he's probably a major stud.

most of it wouldn't be worth much for being outdated, the framing lumber is cheap meh, toss out the wallpaper, piping, shingles etc. the most valuable bits would be the millwork and built-ins

assuming someone just found a sears house kit in the back room or something, finding someone to put it all together would be more of a pain in the rear end. probably your best bet would be to call a television show and see if they'd be willing to get some local craft renovation firm to do it at cost in exchange for filming the process - it would make a good HGTV special

Old wallpaper is heck of expensive.

I found a (insanely overpriced) Sears kit house that's in fantastic shape.
The original floor plan, the Ashmore.

The house for sale looks like it has the pergola glassed in, an additional dining area/sunroom added where the rear porch was, the two back bedrooms turned into one large master suite with a master bath built on the rear, and the attic finished with an additional bedroom and bathroom.


It's gorgeous, but I don't think it's $1.9 million in Charlottesville, VA gorgeous.

Do you have a curved shower rod? On paper it doesn't look like so much, but in person it's like a whole different shower experience imo.

They're pretty cheap if you want to give it a shot, and you can get tension ones so you aren't putting holes in the wall.

We have a Japanese style combo wetroom. The floor is slightly soft, the tub has a sitting ledge and we included handrails. It's very nice and good.

Our master bath is a tiny coffin with a shower that you can only get into if you walk in up against the shower door, close the main door behind you, back up against the door, open the shower door, and sidle on in past the toilet. It's just awful.

Mom has stopped using it because she needs help bathing, so I was thinking if we went with a tankless toilet and remove a hall closet we miiiiight get a walk in tub in there. But mom is concerned about resale value because it's a family neighborhood. Her thought is she could die in a year, MY thought is she could die 20 years from now and both of us can use the drat soaking tub in the meantime. In fact my brother said he'd even come over once a week for a soak.

But they are expensive and again, resell value. They have really fast draining ones now, though...

Shower curtains aren't very common where I live. It's usually glass, which I'm thankful for. Being touched by a cold, clammy shower curtain is nasty.

Which is why I'm glad I have a proper shower. Whenever I move places, it's one of the things I look for.

I've used cloth shower curtains for years and they are vastly superior to the plastic ones - they hang better and don't do the whole cold, clammy thing.

A few years ago I stayed in a hotel room in Vegas that had something sorta similar, but without the door, so you had to like step on the seat to get out. It wasn't like a full-size jacuzzi/hot-tub thing or anything, just a really tall bath tub with enough room for like two people.

As a tall person, it was the best bath I'd ever taken, being able to just chill out and have the water come up to my neck.

Yeah, being tall and broad is a lot of the reason why I find baths worthless, and only ever shower.

I joke about getting a 1970s style football team bath installed so I can actually have a soak.

Or whatever they use to wash baby elephants.

I would like to thank these people for not painting over the fireplace brick

Built-in buffet is still there along with all the molding

Kitchen is beautifully modernized (and not blinding white/gray!), though I wish they kept the Pullman alcove.


The master bath addition appears to have been built not long after the original structure, it might have even been built along with the house in 1930.

It matches the original bath

And the upper level bath


It's gorgeous, but I don't think it's $1.9 million in Charlottesville, VA gorgeous.

I wonder what it would cost to get something like that designed and built with modern materials.

I'm sure the built-ins and millwork would be the cripplingly expensive part.

I feel this. My workaround is to shower, and if I want a soak afterwards, to jump (well, schlep) into the hot tub for a while.

I have been so tempted to redo the bath with a better tub, but it doesn't make sense to put that much money into the house right now.

If the current master bath is as bad as you say, I doubt putting in an walk-in tub is going to negatively affect your house price that much.

"Yes I can hear you, I don't have ear cancer!"

A few years ago I made a trip to Costa Rica and splurged on a night at one of the hot spring resorts. The room had a giant soaking tub that filled with water directly from the hot springs and I'll be damned if it wasn't the best soak of my life. It's the baseline for all tubs for me going forward and I can't wait to put one of my own in one day.

I'm not sure if this is a joke? The water heater is literally a volcano.

We stayed at a ridiculously expensive ryokan in Hakone, Japan a few years ago that had personal hotspring-fed tubs in each room, and then a set of public baths. Both were very very pretty, and really relaxing to soak in.
