New construction 220 sqm city villa with hipped roof, 2 full floors

Is an en-suite bathroom really common?

This is already a running gag here: one or two doors, access from the bedroom or from the dressing room. And even after a hundred discussions, no clear result yet, the extension will probably last until the lawn needs to be mowed again. But it can be indifferent to you in the sense that a bathroom without access from the bedroom-dressing area, despite all trends, is still not a sales obstacle. So everyone can do it according to their own taste.

I would definitely plan a children's bathroom upstairs and a separate parents' dressing-bath area. With small children, everything is no problem, but woe if they get bigger. If my son were to shower in the guest bathroom on the ground floor, I would have to clean and tidy up there after every use. This way, there is a children's bathroom and I have my peace. If I imagine now that three children shower there, leave their clothes there, all kinds of bottles everywhere, a toothbrush on the floor, the floor constantly wet... no thanks, I couldn't use the guest toilet anymore.

If my son were to shower in the guest bathroom on the ground floor, then

... in my opinion, his room should also be located there (keyword: future granny flat). Showering and changing clothes are closely related in practical terms, so they should also be done in close proximity. Besides, running through the house wrapped only in a towel is not everyone's idea of a dream.

And then customers want to dress up or have an urgent need

to spruce up or has an urgent need

Why "or"? - Sprucing up is itself also an urgent need, aside from the "beer shaped this body" faction

If my son were to shower in the guest bathroom on the ground floor, I would have to clean and tidy up there after every use. That's why there is a children's bathroom.....

We raised our children so that a shared room, e.g. bathroom, kitchen, toilet, living room, is left as it was found upon entering. Or do the children clean and tidy up their children's bathroom themselves?
