Walk through bedroom

[Kyle Sorrels]

Hello everyone. 

I have a SFR that I'm rehabbing. It's a two story house that I'm currently adding a bedroom to the downstairs. Upstairs it has what I call a "walk through bedroom". It is two rooms that have a shared full bath (two entry doors). The problem is you would have to walk through one bedroom to get enter the other bedroom. Would I be able to market this as a 3 bedroom house, or just a 2 bedroom?

My thought is that a family would use both rooms upstairs as bedrooms whether I list it as a two bedroom, or a three bedroom. Does anyone have any thoughts, or experience with this? 

Thanks, Kyle.

On more food for thought, where I live in Louisiana, it would definitely be considered 3 bedrooms.  We even have a common style of house here in New Orleans called a "shotgun", where you literally have to walk through bedrooms because there are no hallways.  Sometimes no bedroom doors either.  They are essentially long houses that are the width of one room.  Designed back in the days before a/c and you basically wanted to turn your house into a wind tunnel in the summer months.

They are called "shotguns" because the joke is that, if you open the front door and the back door, you could shoot a shotgun shell from the front door.  And the bullet would fly through the house and out the back door, without hitting anything.
