Anthony,
Click on mine and Chris' profile (email us directly) and we'd be happy to send you comps.  We have access to Beaufort MLS and Hilton Head MLS, so we can pull all of the homes for sale in the area.

If it has heating and air conditioning, it is counted in the square footage of the home.

Hello Anthony, 
   If a room is heated, it is considered part of the square footage.

Is the space above the garage accessed through the rest of the house or does one have to go outside or through unfinished space to get to it?
