Less than a year ago we bought an older house and have been renovating it. Next we want to tackle the master bath but due to layout issues it will need to be more than just a facelift. Currently the tub and shower are combine and we would like a separate tub and shower but there aren't many options with the current layout.
The space is 11 x 19 with the living room to the left in the below diagram, the side yard and neighbor's driveway to the right, entry from the master bedroom from the bottom, and backyard at the top. If possible, we would like the bathtub along the top wall to add a nice window looking into the backyard.
The space above the entire room is attic space and as far as I can tell none of the interior walls (within the bathroom) are load-bearing.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
This is the current layout - vanity is way longer than necessary and double linen closets are unecessary. It is also a little dark without any windows and doesn't have room for a separate tub.
For perspective, each box in the graphs below is roughly 6 inches x 6 inches
This is option 1 (not by preference, just order created) - it will allow for decent closet space and be the most navigable but we'll have to change the location of pretty much all of the plumbing and existing interior walls.
This is option 2 - Will have to change walls and some of the plumbing but not everything. Positives are the bathroom part will be pretty open with lots of potential for windows. Drawback is narrow hallway to get there and closets aren't walk-in. Probably going to be pretty expensive.
This is option 3 - it mostly plays off the current layout and basically just squeezes a shower in and switches the existing water closet for the existing shower/tub combo. Most plumbing can remain in place. Probably the cheapest option by far, but will still be a little tight and dark with the bathroom piece being relatively narrow.
