Sitting in it now as I took it for my office but when the world returns to normal we will also use it as a bedroom. If we had regular guests would add a closet of some sort but it can be used as a bedroom if one wishes.

I guess TV marketing has changed. We bought our Gardenia in 2013. It was built in 2007. It was called a 2 bedroom + den.
Of course, you can use it for a bedroom. You can use it for anything you want. But to be an official bedroom — in most places — it needs to have a closet.
And, now, I must digress. It is my curse to do so. . .
Up north where there are basements, people sometimes put what they call bedrooms there. . .
But where I come from, code requires a bedroom to have a window — and for a basement bedroom, not just any window — has to be a window big enough for a fully-equipped firefighter to get through. . .
A single (divorced) friend of mine, who has a whole big house to herself, had such a window put into her basement for a bedroom she did not need. . .
I suspect she is waiting for that fully-equipped firefighter (like the ones on calendars) to come through.
