2 bedroom or one bedroom and a flex space

I have a small two bedroom duplex in a desirable part of town. It has been a great LTR, but it is transitioning to a MTR.  My question- is it better to furnish as two bedrooms with full size beds or to furnish as a one bedroom with the other room being an office or other kind of flex space.

    Hello Jean-Marie,

    I see that you plan to use full sized beds.  Queen sized beds are more popular, and King-sized beds are rare in MTR which makes them an attractive option. Would either of your rooms allow for a bed larger than a full?

    Whether or not you should furnish both as bedrooms, or one as an office depends on what your competition is doing.  Look at the other listings in your area and price point. If there is an abundance of two bedrooms and not many with a dedicated office space, then you should go with the office space. 

    Cheers,

    Melissa
