I figured I was smart enough to answer this question with Google, but no luck! I cannot for the life of me figure out the definitions of 1.75 / 1.5 / full bath!

Please enlighten me! :)

Example 2

Full bath = a single fully equipped bathroom.
1.5 = A single, fully equipped bathroom AND a room with a commode+sink (but no bathtub/shower)

1.75 = Probably a real estate agent thinking he/she's going the extra mile trying to sell the house and making up a term.

never seen a 1.75 bath... but maybe a 'standing shower' w/ a crapper is the 1.75? otherwise half = crapper + sink, full = crapper +sink + tub/shower

Could mean that it doesn't have a tub, just a walk-in shower.

Sink. Toilet. Shower stall.

They are correct.

While 99% of the time it will be listed as 1.5 baths with a shower stahl I have seen it listed this way.

The .75 means that its a bathroom with a toilet, sink, stand up shower stahl -- no tub.

1 is a bathroom with a bathtub, toilet and sink.
.75 is a bathroom with a shower (no bathtub), toilet and sink.
.50 is a bathroom with a toilet and a sink.

My first home was a condo with 2.5 baths. The half bath was the downstairs bathroom which only had a toilet and a sink.

Our current home has 3 full baths (all of them have a bathtub-in fact, our masterbath has a bathtub and a separate shower but it is just considered a full bath).

i wonder how you would list two .75 baths (i used to live in a house with only showers - no tubs - but it had 2 of them). Would that be 1.5 bath? or could you have like 6 sink/crappers but no showers and call it a 3 bath house?

Does a room with just a sink count as .25, because then you could add on the kitchen and the laundry room.

No, I think a bathroom has to have a toilet in order to be considered a bathroom.

I would think you would list it as having two 3/4 baths.

In your second scenario the home would be listed as having six 1/2 bathrooms.

Yep, there's two bathrooms where I live and the second (the one off the master bedroom) is listed as a .75 since it's only a standing shower.

To kind of throw preference into it, I kind of like the standing showers more.

So if a stand-up shower stall is worth .25 extra, and a bathtub is worth .5 extra, if I've got a toilet, sink, stand-up shower stall AND a separate bathtub, can that room qualify as 1.25 baths? :p

Crazy. :D

For me, a second bathroom that had a shower would be great, so I guess I'll be looking for 1.75+ baths!

Um, no...that would be considered one full bathroom. My house has two sinks, one toilet, a full bathtub and a stand-up shower in the master bathroom and it is considered one full bathroom. You don't add the items up like fractions. The bathroom has 3 requirements to be considered a full bath and that is that it has at least one sink, at least one toilet and at least one bathtub.

I'd list that as a Master Bathroom Suite.

When we bought our house it was listed as having 3 bathrooms...nothing more. All the homes around here are listed like that. Really though, I don't think there are any hard and fast rules for how you list these things, we probably could list it as having a master bathroom suite. As long as you aren't claiming something that is just plain false.

I could ask my wife about it. She's a realtor.
