That would be ideal. In most houses kitchens and bathrooms are in the  
same general area. It would still take some retrofitting of hot water  
piping and a gas line would be needed and it could be power vented  
through a wall to the outside. Maybe hide it in a closet?

I have day dreamed about doing this from time to time. And this  
discussion has me thinking again. But I no complaints about the  
AquaStar in the basement.
