You might want to add your question to the "buying and selling homes" forum. What is your general location?

thanks for the suggestion.

I don't see how a built-in wouldn't count as a closet, but I'm not a realtor.

IMO a wardrobe cabinet is a closet and in many parts of the world the only closet so I aleways have issues with the whole idea that a closet has to be a built in space but that said ask a realtor in your area . I install Ikea closets all the time especially Pax which really is not built in but still qualifies as a closet.

I'm no expert but if built-ins such as those are at least the depth of a closet and have a rod for hanging clothes I don't know how anyone could say it's not a closet.

Agent might decide to reference in listing a built in closet, but room would still be considered a bedroom I would think.

In the US generally, buyers expect a bedroom to have a closet. Very few Americans have a movable armoire or cupboard to be used as a bedroom's sole closet.

As a Realtor I would advertise it as built in closets as long as they are big enough. Usually to be considered a bedroom, it requires a closet, but I have seen many bedrooms in old homes without one or a very small one.

Where we live a closet needs to be a part of the room to make the room a bedroom. A bedroom also must have a window. Best to check where you live.

That said, like someone else said above, many older homes may not have the closet and then add in built ins or similar products to make it function and many buyers accept this.

Is it deep enough to hang hangers with clothing on them?

for my house, the sellers put a cheap Ikea wardrobe in the finished basement and called it the master bedroom! annoying, but it's something you might consider -- it gives the buyer an option to re-arrange or get rid of it.

that picture you posted is pretty, but if you did something like that, remember there's no spot for night stands. having a nook and sconces above the bed would help. people need a spot to put their things when they go to bed. a nook is not ideal though -- maybe ok for a kid's or guest room.

IMO as a 3rd bedroom it is awesome.

I did think about the lack of space for a night stand but think I’m going to take the closet for my master bathroom and try the built in. Thank everyone

My daughter did just that in her cottage.

Info:

To be considered a closet it should be full-height (8'-0" or higher), be attached to the wall in accordance with seismic code, and be at least 24" deep.

JudyG. I would be able to meet those guidelines. Thanks for the info.
