two enclosed toilet rooms in master bathroom?

Yes in Europe, because they have fewer bathrooms per person. So you could have a 4-person family sharing one bathroom. One room is just a toilet and maybe a tiny sink, and the room next to it is a shower and a larger sink. This way someone's long shower doesn't get in the way of other people taking a leak.

When I lived in Europe, my 3-bedroom, 1,000 square foot place had a configuration like this. Only annoying thing is it didn't have a fan in the toilet room.

If OP is worried about husband stinking up the bathroom, just have the lightswitch hard-wired to turn on the fan also.

I can't stand the WC rooms in other countries. Overseas in Europe my house only had a toilet on the first floor... WTF?! Do people not wash hands at all? It seemed very common to never see sinks in WCs.

which country?

This wasn't my experience in Italy.

We did wash our hands - thank God!

My DH cannot hit the pot to save his own life and he swears he never "sees" the pee all over the floor or on the side of the toilet. I have to clean our bathroom every day or risk stepping in it. What I would give for him to have his own toilet in a small room where I could just shut the door and he could deal with the filth.

I rented an apartment in Paris that had the same issue. The toilet was in a separate room, and had no sink. The sink was in the bathroom, which unfortunately was not even close to the toilet. It was several doors down the hall. There was a bidet in the bathroom, but no toilet.

Everything's bigger in Texas incl. The level of moronity on display at times...

I know it would be a big expense but would this detract from resale value? Or is it just neutral. I can see prospective buyers not caring either way.

I don't think so. Dana Stubblefield did it = he lived up the street when he played for the skins. Couldn't fit in the standard toilet room, so he had another built with wider door and added a urinal as well. He was a riot! Miss them!!

I also heard that Christmas tree closets were becoming common in Texas McMansions -- that is, a large walk-in closet just off the living room, into which you roll your (artificial) Christmas tree, lights, tinsel, ornaments and all until next Christmas, No packing up, no unstringing of lights, no fuss. Yee-haw!

We have one under the stairs in the basement.

Make one of those double-toilet Sochi stalls. Yeah!

If people had the money they would build homes here with the same amenities as those in texas.

wife didnt want me to put in a urinal.

So I put in double sinks.

Between those and the tub and the shower in that bathroom, and of course the toilet, I have 5 effective urinals instead. Little does anyone know.

I plumbed them myself, so I know they all end up in the same place.

France. Multiple cities there, including Paris.

There was always a toilet without a sink and there also was a sink/shower without a toilet. Kind of weird because I usually use the toilet and then take my shower afterwards...

OMG. My mother needs this. She puts a TARP on her tree and puts it in her carport. (she lives in GA, it isn't a garage).

Last year an effing bird built a nest in it!

All, hubby of 30 yrs and I are building our dream home on Lake Ontario in NY, I insisted on two enclosed toilets in our 3rd floor Master suite. Invariably we both have to go at the same time and rather than have to go down stairs to the guest bath (only other one in the house) I wanted this option. In prior homes one of us would have to run to one of the other bathrooms, last two homes had 4.5 and 3.5 baths. This dream home will only have two full, one on each floor and I'll be damned if I have to be the one how has to run downstairs! People think we're crazy but I don't care!!!
