11. Counting everything. From WIKI |
|
Today the group of buildings housing the presidency is known as the White House Complex. It includes the central Executive Residence flanked by the East Wing and West Wing. Day to day household operations are coordinated by the Chief Usher. The White House includes: six stories and 55,000 ft² (5,100 m²) of floor space, 132 rooms and 35 bathrooms, 412 doors, 147 windows, twenty-eight fireplaces, eight staircases, three elevators, five full-time chefs, a tennis court, a (single-lane) bowling alley, a movie theater, a jogging track, a swimming pool, and a putting green. It receives about 5,000 visitors a day.

12. Basements usually aren't counted as "stories" in homes. |
|
A two-story home with a basement is not a three-story home.

13. Most basements don't have bowling alley, a movie theater, a swimming pool and a bomb shelter in them |
|
So I would surmise it is logical to go beyond using descriptions normally reserved for describing "usual" homes in this case.

14. Even those rarely count. |
|
There's a home in Omaha that was just sold for roughly $2 million that had a basement with exactly those items. The basement still didn't count as a story when it was listed. The home was 15,000SF, which I would hardly consider "usual".
Perhaps a more accurate question for your poll would have been how many floors are in the WH, including subterranean ones, as opposed to stories. A small but significant difference in wording.
