Most Realtors think that a bedroom must have three things to be officially called a bedroom:
- A door
- A window
- A closet
Because that's what's taught to us from the day we get our licenses.
That is not always the case, however. For example, in Fairfax County, a room is constituted of any space that:
- Has "emergency egress"
- Has a smoke detector
- Is at least 70 sq. ft. in size
Here are the guidelines from Fairfax County.
