It sounds like the water heater is so far from the kitchen sink that a recirculating line may be required to keep the line feeding the sink hot, otherwise, it will cool down causing you to have to run all that cool water out before the hot gets there. The reason you get it faster when you run the bathroom is because you are drawing more GPM through the line with two fixtures on.

What does it mean when a house is listed with 2.1 bathrooms?

In many states this is a common listing and represents the equivalent of 2 and a 1/2 bathrooms. The reasoning behind listing it this way is that you may have some houses that have 2 half bathrooms. If you were to count those each as a half you would end up with a number that would indicate an extra full bathroom rather than 2 halfs. So basically, the first number indicates the number of full bathrooms and the number after the decimal point equals the number of half bathrooms. 2 full bathrooms 1 half bathroom = 2.1 bathrooms 2 full bathrooms 2 half bathrooms = 2.2 bathrooms
