Does a bedroom have to have a closet?
That's one of the questions I hear when looking at older homes.
The answer might surprise you. A closet isn't necessarily required, but there are other things that matter, especially when it comes to basement bedrooms.
Windows, room dimensions, emergency escape, and even septic capacity can come into play.
