Should I rearrange my house to show potential buyers what the setup could be?

It’s a 5 bed, 1.5 bath, large eat in kitchen, formal dining room with first floor laundry. The half bath is downstairs as well as one of the bedroom. We use the formal dining room as an office space and the first floor bedroom as my photo studio. Upstairs we use 3 of the bedrooms for the 3 kids and the 4th bedroom is used as the master. The only full bath is located through the master. This is where some negative remarks have been made.

I’m considering putting my 2 girls into one room, so that we all fit into 3 bedrooms upstairs and making the “master” just a sitting room or office. This way people don’t feel they’d need to walk through a bedroom to get to the only full bath. I’m also considering making my formal dining room an actual dining room instead of an office.

For our family these rooms are currently functional, but for other people it might help them see the house in a different light if we rearrange. What do you think? Worth the hassle?
