[quote=Anonymous]If you care about resale value, the laundry in the basement isn’t ideal. We have a full laundry room with a countertop for folding clothes on the second floor near the bedrooms and a washer dryer in the mud room/pool room on the first floor. The w/d on the first floor seemed like an extravagance when we put it in, but I use it much more than I thought I would.

I can see how the basement might work for you now.  However, the only people I know who have a housekeeper that comes and does laundry have a lot of kids. One family with 5 kids has multiple w/d in one room, but it’s on the first floor. We have a large house and a housekeeper, but we’ve always done our own laundry. Once your kids are grown and you’re doing your own laundry, you’ll really appreciate having a bigger laundry area on the second floor. It’s not like having it in the basement gains you a ton of privacy; the housekeeper is still going to be in and out of your bedrooms collecting dirty clothes, etc. [/quote]
