Uhh 90m^2 house with half of it occupied by a fucking large garage...?

Dunno about Arizona but everywhere I’ve lived unconditioned space like a garage wouldn’t count towards the square footage.

Ah so it's "livable square feet" on the post or w/e it's called, not total

It should say that somewhere in the ad (in the US) or the garage/unconditioned space is omitted entirely even if it is a 24x24 or something. It might get a separate mention though depending on who is selling.

It’s bonkers, but it varies regionally in the US on how a garage space is treated. Midwest? You park a car in there out of the snow/elements. Southeast? It’s for all the junk you don’t want in the house.

Hard to tell for sure since it’s just a screenshot but that would be my assumption

ETA: Found this floor plan for a similar sqft from the same builder also in Florence, AZ
