The shower / toilet under the stairs.

[Arinoth]

Bah, that is too private. The house my Wife and I are going to look at on Sunday as the perfect downstairs washroom.

I suppose Friendly's question should've been, "is that toilet a recent addition?"...... seems hard to believe the house would have had the toilet installed when first built, with the buyer's option to build some walls at a later date, and then they never did it, IN ~30 YRS.!

I dunno.... I can't imagine any other scenario as the toilet's sewer connection had to be installed when they poured the concrete floor. The only other scenario would be that the toilet was closed in at some point but they removed the walls.

And they were expecting the wall to be framed like 2ft out too? Or at least it looks really far from the wall... very strange placement

You always rough in a toilet connection in an unfinished basement so a bathroom can be added at a later date without jackhammering up the concrete, although they are quite often poorly placed and would require jackhammering anyway to be moved. That toilet has most likely been added by a home-owner after occupancy, it shouldn't pass the occupancy building inspection like that.

when I saw that pic of the toilet and how it shares with everything, I immediately thought of this potato chip commercial from the 90's!

Well, like Sugar mentioned, sure, the toilet connection would've likely been there from day 1, but with a cap on it..... seems pretty silly to have had a toilet sittin' there, out in the open, for a long period of time, without ever having actually built some walls around it.
