First Flip: More Bedrooms = More Money?

Hello everyone, I just finished my first flip and I am ready to list it. It is a 2/1.5 two story 1364 sq ft that started out as a 1/1 cape cod. I tore the second story off and went with a cantilever on the back and added the second bedroom and additional bath. My realtor says I should have gone with a 3 bedroom instead of the two large rooms with lots of closet space. So I am just looking for opinions on if I should have done that or not. The house is finished with higher end things (granite hardwood etc) and it has 2 walk-in closets in the master and 1 walk in closet in the other room. My idea for this house was for a couple whose kids were all moved out and looking to downsize, yet not settling for a small shack. Did I make a big mistake picking that as my target market? Should I have packed the house with bedrooms instead? Thoughts?
