I had a washer and dryer stacked in the closet. I'm not a full timer so I sold them and bought a single, combo unit for when I wanted to do a quick load instead of using a laundry provided in town or at an RV park. I then put shelves in over top of it for exactly what you are looking to do turning it into a linen / wash
I think for a girl I did a pretty darn good job.
