Q & A - What are the meanings of the different basements?
In Denver, the majority of the homes you will find do have basements, but there are a few that do not have basements. Many buyers have "finished basement" on their Wish List. You can find -
Walk-out basements - the basement has a door to the backyard
Garden basements - The windows are at ground level
In-ground (cellar) basements - full basement below ground
You can find homes with basements that have not been finished, so you can be creative and finish them the way you would like, or you can find basements fully finished. There is usually a room or space for storage even when the basement is fully finished. You can find wet bars, exercise rooms, media rooms, wine cellars, 2nd kitchens, and rooms for pool tables. Need a mancave for the "boys" to watch their games?
When you put bedrooms in the basement, to be conforming, they need an egress window (escape window) and a closet. Always nice to have at least a 3/4 bath in the basement. However, a basement that is finished, adds added valuable living space to a home.
Give me a call when you are ready to view homes with finished basements.
