Egress windows in a big basement
I recently bought a 1500 SQFT house with 3 Bedrooms and 2 Full Baths. This house has an unfinished 1500 SQFT basement too. This basement has a hook up for a full bathroom and also has 9' ceilings throughout. My plan is to put 2 Bedrooms and a full bathroom down there with 2 Egress windows (1 in each bedroom). After all of this, the basement square footage should be counted in the overall square footage. When this gets appraised, will they call this a 3000 SQ FT house with 5 total bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms? Or will they call it something else? I'm looking to add value to this home.
Thanks!
