Does House Square Footage Include Hallways?

When an appraiser calculates the square footage of a home, it will only measure interior spaces that are heated and cooled. This includes bedrooms (and closets), bathrooms, hallways, kitchen, and living areas, as well as enclosed patios, and finished attics.

What counts as square footage in house?

Any space that has walls, flooring, ceiling and heat would count as finished square footage. So, it's likely that stairwells, closets, walk-in pantries and other areas you might be questioning would contribute to the square footage count of a home.

Are lofts included in square footage?

If a loft is within the property but does not have walls, it is still considered part of the home and its square footage is measured.
