Hi Mark, It looks like you are in PA. Every MLS has rules and regulations that would cover this questions. I would also check with your local municipalities building department for clarification. I can speak for our MLS (MRED) in IL, here is their definition. A bedroom is a private room that is closed off from other living spaces and does not have its only entrance from another bedroom (this is a tandem room). Bedrooms are not required to have a closet and/or window. While this definition meets appraiser standards and excludes tandem rooms, all MRED room-counting rules/definitions are superseded by local municipality building codes and standards. MRED's rules for counting rooms are intended to be used in tandem with local building codes and standards.
