A Melbourne home recently sold for $1 million and although the price tag is hefty, people were more interested in a quirky design element.

The house boasts a solar-heated pool, double garage and close proximity to schools, but it’s a toilet pictured metres from the bed that people aren’t sure about.

 

Discussing the bathroom trend on Reddit, commenters expressed their concern.

"It's not a combined toilet and bathroom, but the lack of fan is just wrong," one person wrote.

Another commenter added: "Against code in many places. Not sure about Australia these days." 

But as Business Insider points out in an unrelated article, when a toilet is flushed germs can fly almost 5 metres.

"It is a good idea to lower the seat, especially if the bathroom is used by multiple people," said Philip Tierno, a microbiologist at New York University.

For this reason, we aren't sure how we feel about the above bedroom.
