Ask the realtor who sold you the place? What do similar places sell
for?

I would personally prefer a real bedroom over a "studio" / loft
arrange.
(But 500 sq ft is way too small to qualify for a real loft, maybe a
"new millennium" loft.)

Always better to have a place to change / finish dressing while
guest(s) sit in the living room.

How big (& what shape) would the resulting bedroom be?
Properly done you should be able to squeeze out a nice seperate
bedroom.
