My wife came up with a suggestion about our home which I like. However,
I would like some input concerning value of our home. We have a 1700sq
ft home with two full baths and one 1/2 bath that is literally 3 steps
from our open kitchen - just across the hall. Our kitchen is fairly
small and has limited space so my wife suggested we convert the half
bath into a pantry. In terms of flow in the kitchen, it's perfect. My
question: would this lower the value of our home?

We would likely just cap all lines so that a new owner could convert
the bath back if they wanted it.


If the next owner is into cooking, the pantry could be a great asset. My
only caveat would be this: Do you ever use that bathroom when you have messy
shoes on, maybe from yard work, and don't want to march through the rest of
the house to one of the other bathrooms?
