Will removing a closet to create a dedicated home office hurt my resale value?

We currently have a four-bedroom house, but we converted the smallest bedroom into a custom home office by removing the closet to build in a desk and shelving. We live in a family-heavy neighborhood in Texas where bedrooms are highly valued. Should we tear out the custom woodwork and frame the closet back in before we put it on the market? I am worried buyers will pass if it is officially listed as a three-bedroom.

How does flood zone status affect buying a home in South Florida?

We're looking at homes in Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale and a few of the ones we like are in FEMA flood zones. Should we just pass on those automatically? My husband says it's not worth the headache. How much will it really change what we pay monthly between insurance and everything else, and what should we be doing during the inspection period to know what we're really getting into before our escrow money is at risk?
