Zamora property with toilet in bedroom: 230 m2, six TVs

Toilet at the foot of the bed: The home defying real estate logic

In Coreses, a village in Zamora (Spain), an Idealista ad has sparked debate over open-plan limits: 230 square meters built area with three living rooms, six televisions, and, as the centerpiece, a toilet in the same bedroom without walls or doors separating it from the bed. A staircase leads directly alongside, turning any bathroom visit into a public spectacle for ground-floor residents. The price is undisclosed, but comments suggest the mortgage might be lower than renting a garage in a major city.

Misleading metrics: 230 built or 90 usable?

The ad boasts 230 m2, but photos suggest built area includes nooks and non-habitable surfaces. The layout resembles narrow, deep village houses with enfilade rooms lacking real exterior windows. Some estimate actual usable space is around 90 m2. A classic rural market trick that inflates the price per usable meter.

Open kitchen scam: Same issue in the living room

This phenomenon isn't new: integrated kitchens were sold as modernity but now miccionan shared spaces without privacy. Here it's extreme: the toilet shares the room with the bed. Hygienic justification is absent: splashes on wood laminate flooring are a constant risk. Experts say odors rise to upper floors, though optimists claim open windows and deodorizers mitigate this.

Who is this house designed for?

Decor analysis (pink quilt, pastel colors, white rug) suggests design by and for an elderly woman. The elevated toilet on a minimal pedestal makes standing use difficult for men, while proximity to the bed solves nighttime needs without fully getting up. A flush-mounted shower tray indicates mobility issues. It is essentially a retirement-adapted home where functionality overrides modesty.

Unmentioned electrical risks

Among the ad's curiosities, an electric water heater placed above the bathtub stands out, abusa the Low Voltage Electrical Regulation. Zones 0 and 1 (inside and around the tub) prohibit fixed electrical appliances. This danger reduces property value yet goes unnoticed in the listing details.

Ultimately, this house encapsulates Spanish real estate confusion: inflated areas, absurd designs, and prices only understood locally. Considering living here reflects desperation for affordable housing more than avant-garde design. Meanwhile, in Zamora, a toilet watches over its owner's sleep from just one meter away.
