House Hunt: Homes With Full Basements

One of the most common features a potential buyer looks for in a home is a full basement, either finished or unfinished. 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. 

Of the around 180 homes on the market in Buford, about 85 properties have a full basement. This week, House Hunt takes a close look at five examples.  If you are interested in more information about a particular property, please click the highlighted link.
