We turned a stinky public bathroom into our dream beach house — now we’re selling it for nearly $400K

From commode to abode.

A creative couple turned a putrid public bathroom into their private beachfront sanctuary — and now they’re sniffing around for a new owner.

After a stinker of a renovation described by the adventurous pair as “a decade of stress,” they’ve listed the tarted-up toilets for $372,000.

Elaine and Alan Taylor snapped up the ramshackle restroom in Barmouth, Wales in 2015 via a blind bidding process, WalesOnline reported.

For their future retreat, they paid just $38,000 — not knowing they’d have to flush an estimated $328,000 down the drain to realize their dream of oceanfront living.

“We thought that it would be amazing because of its proximity to the sand dunes and the sea, and what an opportunity to renovate something and improve the area, take something that’s unloved, unused and make it into something really nice,” Elaine Taylor told WalesOnline.

The building had been shuttered for many years before the Taylors came to town. They discovered that the interiors were, understandably, quite smelly and sandy.

Their labor of love for the lost loos began in earnest in 2016, after the couple got planning approval.

Due to their proximity to a school, however, construction was paused until the following summer.

Eventually, however, the bothersome former bog was replaced with a well-appointed one-bedroom, one-bathroom home with views of the sea, sand and sky.

Now, due to changing life circumstances, the Taylors have made the “tough decision” to sell the one-of-a-kind property.

But they are eager to see it occupied and loved by new owners, they said.
