As far as adding monetary value, having the master on the main level versus master on the second level or basement does not outweight the other.  It is just a personal preference that buyers have that other buyers do not.  For instance, some buyers with young children would rather not have their master suite on the 1st floor and their children located on another floor.  Parents would prefer to be close to their children's be... 06/11/2014
