Will renovating my basement into a master suite add value?

Nope-a bedroom has to have a window- full sized. It's code.

nope.. besides do you really want to have to go through the master bedroom to do laundry all the time? you are taking away space if anything. And you need a window to be a bedroom if not it is just a room with a closet

I have a family room and a living room. There's no need for both since I also have a loft area in my home. On the top floor there are two small bedrooms and one full bathroom. In the basement where the family room is, there is a toilet and washer and dryer. I live in a condo, so I cannot add an egress window to make the basement an official bedroom, but I am wondering if it would add much value, if any to transform the basement into a master suite with laundry, full bathroom and walk in closet. I know this wouldnt be considered a 'bedroom', but i feel that adding the third space for a potential bedroom would be valuable - i just want a professional opinion on it.
