What are the total dimensions of this floor? Will it be dedicated 100% to the master suite?

I think the turret area would be a fabulous sitting area off the master. Depending on size of the whole thing, of course.

Thanks!

The turret room is roughly 14 x 14 excluding the extra space from the turret.
We want to add a nice size closet and a master bath.

The place is currently packed full of stuff so I canâÂÂt get accurate measurements. We will need to add some insulation and drywall over the exterior plaster walls so that will reduce the room sizes a little bit, too.

As soon as I âÂÂcutâ the turret room to have a closet or bathroom the turret sitting/reading area gets to be about 7 feet at the narrow point.
Would that feel cramped? Or become an intimate reading nook?

HereâÂÂs one of the plans that shows that option.

I appreciate your feedback and willingness to help a stranger.

Oh, come on now, would you deprive your guests of the opportunity to stay in a turret?! Save a little money on pipes by moving your new bath over next to the existing bath, and put the turret in the guest room! Only problem is, your guests might keep coming back...and telling other friends. Don't worry, you can still put a reading chair and bookcase in there for you :)

That was another one of the floor plans. : )
Thanks!

The true purpose of a turret is to defend the adjacent walls from attack. I suggest black-out curtains, a central floor rack for automatic rifles, ammunition boxes under the windows and exterior klieg lights.

LOL! aren't you forgetting slots to fire the rifles through?

best of luck OP!

Body armor! Don't need no stink'n slots.

I remember a floor plan (year ago) with a big, claw foot tub in front of the turret. Close enough to enjoy the view, but with room to access that area for cleaning and watering plants. They has lots of plants (all that lovely light) and it was beautiful.

Just an idea :)

thank you all!
My husband will love the defense idea--- though he will argue in favor of arrows.
: )

I like the tub idea, but I'm not sure about how easy/difficult the cleaning woudl be.

Please post pics when you are remodeling so we can see this interesting space afterwards! :) I agree with a combo guest room/library sort of thing -- your guests will loooove it! Or if you could use it as a master with sitting area, then that would be even nicer. I like the idea of putting the master bath over by the other bath, then you could create a nice big walk-through closet between bedroom and bath. Personal taste dictates whether you want the bath closer or farther from your bed -- I like as far as possible, I hate hearing my husband's late night visits to the bathroom.

How could you deprive us of pics?? This sounds amazing.
