We had a house built on pilings with a 208sq ft storage room underneath  the house. I insulated the room and  my wife used it as her craft room.  The problem was not heat. She used a small electic heater by  her feet  when it was cold. When  the temp really dropped,  she just stayed upstairs. You could  try a small electric heater before you invest  in some larger heater that actually puts out too much heat.

The  real problem was the need  for air conditioning which was solved with a window unit. She needed ac  much more often than  heat. We purchased  a unit  that was too large and  the room felt damp. Bought a 5000 BTU and it was perfect for the  200  sq feet. It ran more often  but removed the humidity.

Trust me...having her view blocked  to stay warm and cool is no big deal. My  wife  had just  the one window and that was never  an  issue.

I would go the combo window unit but really check out the  correct size...the narrow split units appear to put out too much BTUs for the ac. Another option is through the wall like  a motel. They are about the same price  as  a  combo window unit.
