   I've heard the same sentiment.

   Seems a bit excessive?  My 1,800 sq ft circa 1900 Victorian (sq ft not   
   including part-finished cellar or finished attic) has precisely one   
   bathroom.  It has the old-English style commode in the water closet, and   
   the tub and sink in the "bathroom".

    From time to time, I hear the phrase "3/4" bath, usually referring to a   
   shower-only, with commode and sink.  For reference, I live in eastern   
   Ohio-state.
