The double french doors looks prettier (and more expensive) to anyone coming in the front door than a smaller, single bedroom door. That solid door will prevent any natural light from the office coming into the foyer, unfortunately making the entry feel darker than it should be. Plus the smallness of that single door could look awkward and disproportionate against the run of that foyer wall.
As stated before, you don't know what other people need, so let them fix the property up as they see fit. Somebody might want an office, or keep the room as a study *and* guest bedroom, in which a sleeper sofa can turn the room into a quiet away-space for anyone who prefers reading, internet surfing, or phone calls away from TV noise.
When we were house shopping, sellers would list as 4 bedroom and it clearly wasn't. Annoyed the heck out of me. My current house is a 3BR w/sitting room. Sitting room is large, has closet + window, but can only be accessed via the master. I'm planning to sell this house and I wouldn't list it as 4 bedroom b/c its not.
Market it as a Nursery or Baby's Room. Some mommies like that idea. :-)
Do the double doors have an overlap strip? Not all do. If not, there is a privacy issue that may deter some buyers who are looking for that fourth bedroom.
