I would say yes, particularly from the perspective of future resale value.
Since today's buyers often start their real estate search on the internet and specify certain search parameters, a home with 2 baths will be more visible than one that has 1.5 or 1 bath. More traffic means a greater likelihood that one will get more potential buyers.
Of course be sure that any add-ons are done with the proper permits. More and more, appraisers are checking to be sure that permits were taken out in order to add the new bath/addition to the value of the home.
All the best!

I'd lean towards yes, but it depends on what other homes in your neighborhood have - it is better to make your home more like others if you want a positive return on investment. At some point, the principle of diminishing returns comes into play. But a 2nd full bath sounds safe.
Does adding a 2nd full bath add to the value of the home?
