I am currently undergoing a gut renovation of a 2 bedroom coop unit, and during a construction consult, I had wanted to install a Standup Shower in the current tub area (thus removing the tub). In passing, my realtor mentioned that removing a tub would hurt resale value, as many buyers want to have a tub. I have ALWAYS had tub showers, but... almost NEVER take baths. Any thoughts on whether or not this is true or not? Because, come to think of it... Most new construction units that I see also choose to put a tub shower, and rarely use standup showers.
"And as a single guy who exclusively takes showers, I can tell you my wonderful prewar soaking tub came in mighty handy when I ended up with a skin condition that required daily medicinal baths. I would have seen absolutely no relief having only a shower."
