Row house, 18' by 40' or so? Then my vote would be, lose the shower and
replace it with a stackable front loading washer and dryer. No more trips
to the basement to wash clothes.

And, keep the tub/shower. Despite what personal preferences you, me, or
others here may have in terms of liking showers, buyers want a tub/shower.
No tub/shower (in at least one of the bathrooms) means no sale. Ask any
experienced real estate salesperson.

House has 1 1/2 baths. The main one is small (11x5) and has a stall
shower and separate tub. One way or another the bathroom is going to
get redone. I wouldn't have a problem using the tub as a shower and
using the space the stall shower takes up to put in a big sink/vanity
like the Significant Other wants, but several friends say that a
separate shower is a big convenience and selling point. Apparently
many people won't consider buying a house without a stall shower.

I suppose the correct answer is to do whatever we want to do. Neither
of us is quite near an age where climibing over a tub wall is a big
challenge. Still, I was shocked at the number of people who told me
that I'd be crazy to remove a stall shower.
