House Hunt: Homes With Finished Basements

One of the most common features a potential buyer looks for in a home is a finished basement. Having this additional living space can drastically increase a property’s appeal and resale value. The terrace level of a home is versatile space that often includes a media room, guest bedroom and bath, a home office and/or storage that otherwise the home would be without. There are currently around 260 homes for sale in Buford.  Of those, only about 60 properties have finished basements.  Below are five examples.  Please click on the address link for more information about that particular listing.
