The most common definition of a 4 season room is a room that can be used all year long. However, without any context for your question, I have no idea if that is an accurate answer or not.

I doubt you will find a firm legal definition for 4 season room but typically in the construction world it is a heated and possibly cooled room addition. It is designed to be usable all year round. It generally is referring to a sunroom or garden room which typically has a large area of glass so as to be able to observe the outdoors.

In many states it's called an Arizona room.

In Arizona we call it a sunroom.

Go figure.

In the north three season room would be a room that may even have insulation and windows that seal well enough to allow for late fall and very early spring time use but that room would likely not have any kind of source of heat of its own , meaning forced air vent , radiator, space heating -(electric or gas or propane or oil ) if your a tenant then any rental ads you find should be clear as to the rooms use or if your a landlord even more reason to be clear is that a tenant could call in inspections and complain that a room is not usable in January because it lacks heat and inspections could order you to install heat in space you didn't want to because traditionally it was only used during warmer weather like say a summer porch that had better windows installed to gain more use in fall and spring.

This a sun room addition that is built well enough to count as square footage.

602Spafford does this room have a source of heat for any time of day use during the coldest part of winter or not ?

As pointed out, the definition changes from place to place. It generally means a room that is not a normal part of the house (such as a porch, sunroom, etc....) that has sufficient aclilmiatization to allow it to be used year round. Whether that entails heat, cooling, insulation, or operable windows/screens depends on just where you are (in Michigan I suspect some heat source and operable windows is all that matters).

The real LEGAL question is why are you asking? If you're quibbling about something that is in a real estate listing, it's probably spurious. Listings are just advertisements, and errors there are not going to be actionable. You're expected to due more due diligence on things than relying on the puffery in the ad.
