Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 25, 2010 5:44 am Hey, I need some feedback on a semi-datached home I thinking of buying. What do you think of this layout?

It seems a bit odd to have it on the top floor, use the space on the top floor to have a bigger bedroom or some decent storage. No. It's not original. Circa early to mid 90s would be my guess and maybe even as late as early 2000s 1 6631 Thanks for the suggestion. The space between shower and sinks was too tight. I agree about the toilet location.
