You're remodeling for resale, do the double sinks.

I'm remodeling and keeping the house; we have separate bathrooms, and I'm going for a single sink with lots of counter space.

I just rehabbed 2 baths during Covid. (Yeah, great timing, I know.)

Anyway, in a guest bath, I had a single sink in a 60" hole. This made zero sense, as I don't need 150 bottles of hair tonic on the counter, so I went to CostCo and bought some 2-sink counters. They come with sinks/counters already, so that was a nice feature. There's still room for the lad's hair junk, even with 2 sinks. Just buy your fixture/drain hardware of your choice.

Huh. I expect 2 complete bathrooms.

Had 2 sinks once but have never used them together. Much prefer one's own entire bathroom to get ready.

Probably.

One of the down sides for resell of the ranch house is that the Mistress bathroom complex is designed around one person, hence a single sink. I am told that would make the house harder to sell......but that is an issue for those who inherit the house.

My parents' house had 3.5 bathrooms. A .5 off the kitchen in the utility room, his and hers in their bathroom, and for us two remaining kids, double sinks in that bathroom. When I would visit as an adult with my two cats, it was a boon for it to be their room!

We put in double sinks when we remodeled and we only use one of the sinks. I vote double because it looks really nice. It adds symmetry.

Double sinks to sell.

Single sink for YOU if it makes YOU happy.

If you weren't planning on selling once you've finished, I'd say go with whatever works best for you. But for resale purposes, most buyers these days expect 2 sinks
