How is the total living square footage determined?
All square footage is calculated from outside face of stud to outside face of stud. Total living square footage includes only the heated area of the house and does not include the garage, front, side or back porches, courtyards, patios, etc. Basements are also not included in the square footage unless finished. Bonus rooms over the garage are also typically not included in the square footage, although that square footage is calculated and listed as optional.
