Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

Which area is excluded when measuring total living space of a residential home?

1. Fully finished basement with third bedroom and recreation room

2. Playroom over attached garage in two-storey home

3. Second floor bedroom converted to exercise room

4. Main level kitchen fully renovated in the past year

5. Third-floor loft converted to a bedroom

6. Laundry room on the main floor

The correct answer is: Fully finished basement with third bedroom and recreation room

When measuring the total living space of a residential home, areas that are typically excluded are spaces that are below grade, such as basements. In this case, a fully finished basement with a third bedroom and recreation room would be excluded from the total living space calculation because it is located below grade. The other options (B, C, D, E, and F) do not typically fall under areas excluded when measuring total living space. Playrooms, bedrooms, exercise rooms, renovated kitchens, additional bedrooms in lofts, and laundry rooms are all considered as part of the total living space of a residential home.
