I’m in a very hot Austin market and am interested in converting the large loft at the top of our stairs into a 4th room. I want to do this for a functionality point of view…it is a large space but the sound from that room carries through the house so it goes very much unused, We’ll likely only be in the house another 2 years so I don’t want to take a loss on it. I’m being quoted around 6k for the project, 7.5k if I were to include a small closet.
My questions…
a) Would converting this lofted open area into an extra room add 6k in value?
b) In Texas, my understanding is that you can’t officially call something a bedroom unless it has a closet. Would the extra 1.5k to add the closet (to officially make it a 4BR) seem to be worth it?

Much appreciated
