What Constitutes a Bedroom?

Most Realtors think that a bedroom must have three things to be officially called a bedroom:

  1. A door
  2. A window
  3. 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:

  1. Has "emergency egress"
  2. Has a smoke detector
  3. Is at least 70 sq. ft. in size

Here are the guidelines from Fairfax County.
