You are correct, please accept my sincerest apology.
General Requirements for a Bedroom
Every appraiser has a little bit of leeway when it comes to interpreting building regs and requirements. But most agree that the International Residential Code (IRC), to which all 50 states in the U.S. conform, contains no verbiage requiring a closet in a bedroom. Among the things the IRC does stipulate, in its definition of a bedroom:
Typically, the room must be of a minimum size—70 square feet.
The ceiling height from the floor must meet building code. Most municipalities agree that the ceiling height must be at least 7 feet, but that requirement can vary.
Windows must meet specifications in minimum width, height, and distance from the floor.
Egress issues must be satisfied: There must be at least two exits, either doors or windows.
The room must have an installed heating system.
In other words, a closet is a nicety but is not required. A room that is presently used as a den could possibly be considered a bedroom if it meets these minimum requirements.
