Hello everyone,
I’m new here and looking forward to your many responses.
I will soon be moving with my small family (wife and one child) into a so-called townhouse:
This means living, dining, and cooking on the ground floor, 2 children's rooms plus a toilet and shower on the first floor, and sleeping plus a large bathroom on the second floor.
We have been wondering for a while what might be the most practical arrangement and how your townhouses are set up.
Here is what is currently on our minds:
Laundry: We are used to doing laundry on one level (because we currently live in an apartment where the washer and dryer are in the bathroom).
I was thinking that with the room layout described above, it would make the most sense to plan the laundry area in the large master bathroom on the second floor if possible, since then I would only have to go down one floor to the kids to collect laundry.
What do you think—is that practical? Have you townhouse owners found this to be technically feasible? I’m asking in terms of noise disturbance, plumbing installations, and so on.
Thank you very much in advance!

It's Sunday evening, guys and girls...
But I asked myself the same question when I read the title... "What is this again?" and then I put it, just like the city villa, in the "marketing" drawer.Yep... but as a moderator, I’m also asking for others who don’t dare to 🙂 though I’m keeping my Sunday evening smile 🙂
To return to the original question: Considering that another child is expected (?), it would be too much work for me to carry everything upstairs and then back down. From my perspective, placing things more centrally on the first floor (1st floor) makes more sense. We also have the washing machine and dryer on the first floor in our home. :-)
Although I may be disqualifying myself by saying this, I want to point out that I obviously have no experience with a townhouse (or townhome). 😉
Good luck

toxicmolotof12 Jan 2015 15:04A helpful tip: Some (very inexpensive) home insurance providers charge unusual risk surcharges if the washing machine is not located on the lowest floor, meaning the basement or ground floor (without a basement). Or they mention this in the fine print, and the policyholder is left in a difficult position when it turns out: "What, the washing machine was on the upper floor?"

HassaniSabbah18 Jan 2015 17:13First of all, thank you for the many responses and the lively discussion. I probably overreacted a bit, so a sincere apology to Yvonne!
It’s probably not feasible on the first floor, since there are two equally sized children’s bedrooms and a small WC with a shower planned there. Most likely it would be possible in the large master bathroom on the second floor. But the comment from toxicmolotow is quite interesting and might apply here as well. Maybe insurance reasons or noise regulations simply don’t allow it.
