Yes, a room with a closet is considered a bedroom. However, on the flip side, any room (that has an entrance door) with windows and no closet is considered an office or study. We would like to have windows in our bedrooms but sometimes certain floorplans for patio homes or townhouses would not permit because one or both sides of the house are solid property dividing walls.

Hi Tara
It is certainly misleading for anyone to advertise a room as a bedroom that is windowless, and not considered a "legal" bedroom. It would need a window large enough for someone to use as an exit in the case of a fire. At best, right now that room is an "office". Their ad isn't illegal, per se, just misleading.
These people must be for sale by owners. A Realtor would never count it as a bedroom.

Yes. And it will be within code when you put in the window! There has to be a fire escape.
