[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it sounds insane to plan for 3+ washers and dryers in a 7k ft house.  Are you running a hostel?  Does every piece of fabric in the house need to be washed every 24 hours?

I suspect that you actually just want one w/d in the basement for the housekeeper to use with the intent of keeping her out of sight as much as possible, but you realize how that makes you sound, so you invented this need for a separate additional laundromat in your basement as a personal treat to her.[/quote]

Lots of people with large families have 2 sets of washers and 2 sets of dryers. No one I know with an expensive custom house however voluntarily puts their main laundry in the basement.[/quote]

OP here.

Yeah this is why I feel like there should still be a bedroom level laundry room - I don’t want to do anything too weird for potential resale reasons. Plus I can imagine not having a housekeeper when we’re empty nesters, at which point I’d likely want the laundry room on the second floor near the bedrooms.

We have three young kids by the way, so yeah, there’s a lot of laundry.

Also maybe the basement laundry could double as a craft room / gift wrapping room / storage.[/quote]
