I also encourage you to add a jacuzzi.
Not covered by warrantee! Besides, I love my vintage bath. The shower valve says "Shower" and "Tub"! And I'm not really in this for the investment, honestly. I'm in it cause it is MINE MINE MINE. First floor rain and all.
Man, my nightmares were prescient.
Copper is a fuckload better than iron, which rusts out.
It rained on the Himalayas.
Luckily, I wiped it off.
Still, funny.
Why, pray tell, do the Yankees fuck their mothers?
In fairness, I did not invent the term MFY, this is the preferred term of [link] , a Red Sox site, via Bob Bob.
I was a big girl and called the home warranty. Now cross fingers that the leak issue/fix is covered.
If you replumb, instead of full copper repipe - you might consider PEX instead.

Less expensive, more environmentally friendly.
I'm gonna go with cost and longevity, when it comes to it.
We need to redo the plumbing one of these years. Then again my parents managed to ignore it for a good long time.
PEX has up to 50 year longevity. And you don't get a lot of the problems with PEX yoiu do with copper. I guess you have a while anyway, but when the time comes you may want to look into it. Much better maintenance, much easier installation. PEX means fewer joints and more choice in the kind of joints. Which means you can sometimes have shorter runs. The same features that make it easier to install make problems less likely than copper, and make problems easier to repair if they occur.
