http://www.trulia.com/voices/Home_Selling/what_makes_a_bedroom_in_oregon_-125970I own a one-bedroom condo that used to be two bedroom. A previous owner removed a wall between the second larger bedroom and the living room to make a large living area. I would like to return the wall, but would like to know the minimum parameters required for it to be considered a second bedroom again.en-ushttp://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Eugene_OR-198582/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Eugene_OR-198582/To clarify, the heat source must be permanent - not a plug-in heater. Eugene has rental rules about this issue, besides it being a lending issue, as well. If your home has forced air heat, you could either have a vent run to that room (if this is possible) or a simple electric heater could be added. Be wary of the placement of the heater - keep in mind the functionality of the room. For example, if you put a heater in the middle of the only wall suitable for a bed that might limit the use of the room. Many people are not comfortable having their bed under a window. Keep that in mind! Good luck with your remodel!

In general the requirements for a bedroom are: at least 8' x 8' x 8' a door 32" wide A window 32" above the floor large enough for a fireman to use A permanent closet Each municipality has specific requirements that may vary. My point in investing this time for you is that it would be a shame to go to a lot of time and expense to make your condo a two bedroom and then upon inspection at the time of sale discover that you failed to do it correctly. Good luck.Tue, 19 May 2009 09:17:23 -0700http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Springfield_OR-225264/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Springfield_OR-225264/You also need heat besides the closet & Window. Hope this helps you. Have a great Summer.

I just sold a 2 bedroom home plus a den, but it would not appraise. With the new FHA guidlines the appraiser can only go back 90 days for comparables. There were no 2 bedroom homes that he could use. He told me to go to the local store and buy a prefab closet and attach it the wall, which I did. He came back took a picture and needless to say the home appraised. Like Alexis said, it needs the window also. Good luck!Mon, 18 May 2009 19:01:26 -0700http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-97219-164861/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-97219-164861/Right and the window must be big enough for a person to get out of (egress) and/or a fireman to get in through.Mon, 18 May 2009 17:46:36 -0700http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Portland_OR-578112/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Portland_OR-578112/You need a window and a closet (can be purchased from a local store but must hook into wall). It also needs certain diameters of total space. 10 X 10 is a rough estimate of the minimum.Mon, 18 May 2009 17:38:43 -0700
