Looking at getting some renovation quotes. Our current set-up has the never-used oversized jetted soaker tub and a separate shower.
If we combined it into a regular tub/shower combo we'd save a whole bunch of space then we'd be able to extend our vanity and countertop to add a double sink and storage.
Thoughts?
We're real practical so the tub/shower combo doesn't bother us but more thinking of re-sale in the future. Would this be a deal breaker for some people?

Double sinks = Good resale
Extra Storage = Good resale
Separate Tub/shower w/ jet tub = Good resale
Depends on your needs and what else is in the house.
-If it's the only jetted tub, I'd keep it for resale over a tub/shower combo.
-If you're set on getting a double vanity + storage, I'd get a glamorous walk-in shower and forgo the tub/shower combo. They are currently not good bang-for-buck on resale, unless it's the only tub in the house in which case you should keep it for people with dogs and babies.
While you're making your renos, consider if it's possible/worth to add windows/skylights if you don't have them in your ensuite. Natural lighting is a major seller.
