7 Bedroom Homes?

Ah, my favorite topic whether it's the house for sale my buyer with six kids must have or the house someone wants me to list it for me!
 
Split FoyerThe property in question is almost always the 1900+/- square foot house that's a raised ranch or split foyer, whatever you'd like to call it.  As you open the front door, you can go up about 7 steps to the living area or go down about 7 steps into the basement.  As you go upstairs, you have the usual living room/dining room combination, kitchen, hall bath and in this case, 3 bedrooms, owner's suite has it's own bath, then there's a small sewing or craft room with an armoire in it that the sellers say is the fourth bedroom because Grandma stays there when she comes.
 
As you return to the entry and walk down the 7 steps to the basement, you face the laundry closet.  To the right is a small room with a nice ceiling light fixture, carpeting, a half window and a pull out style daybed against a wall, no closet.  "Bedroom number five," the owner announces. We turn left into what was originally designed as a rec room and closest to the window half of the room is a set of bunk beds, separated from the rest of the room by a bizarre rigging of a heavy sort of plastic accordion dooring for lack of a better description.  I say nothing as the seller looks me in the eye, nodding and I can hear him say in his head "Bedroom number six."  We keep walking to the back where the entrance should be to the garage.  Sure enough, as we approach what was a storage area, I look where the seller was standing yet I see none other than Rod Serling standing in a fog of smoke, squinting, cigarette in hand saying, "Bedroom number seven."
