Although I am not completely clear from your question it sounds as if your employer has an at home office and the restroom is in his house not the office portion of the property. If I am correct and my answer will assume I am the fact is that as long as you have a restroom its location (i.e. the home portion or office portion of the premises) is irrelevant.
The employer is not required to have a restroom in the office portion of the home and the use of the restroom in the house being offered to all employees is more than sufficient. Sorry if you were hoping for a different answer. If there are missing facts or I misunderstood your question feel free to post again and i will try to clarify.
