[quote=Anonymous]Not to small to add value for resale. We just bought a small townhouse in DC with 2 beds and an upstairs "den" which if walled off, would be 8x10. We were happy to have the den because the house is really small and it gives us another space for kid stuff/tv.  But we were talking to our realtor and all agree that open "den" spaces add zero value for resale. We discussed ideas we might do down the road when we ultimately sell, and debated converting it to a large walk in closet for the master, versus slap up a wall and call it a third bedroom without a closet. She highly highly recommended adding a wall (even if just with a sliding door) because in dense neighborhoods there is no problem calling this a third bedroom. And then you get people over to the house who might not have had a 2 bedroom hit on their search engine, and then they can ultimately decide what to do with the space - whether office, den, or small bedroom.  This wouldn't work if you live, in say, Manassas where the houses are giant. But where space matters, third bedrooms are third bedrooms -and most of us just use them for sleeping. [/quote]
