minus-squaresnooggumslinkfedilinkEnglish23•edit-23 months agoIt is common in the US, frequently they will be listed as 2 & 1/2 baths if they have two with tubs and one without. Haven’t paid enough attention to know how they list multiple 1/2 baths but pretty sure they don’t add up like regular fractions… I always found the term 1/2 bath weird.

E.g. "two full- and two half-baths"or something like “four bathrooms - two full”
