The Basement

The basement is unfinished, but our offer included it being finished with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, a storage closet and a family room with a fireplace.  It is 1400 square feet. They tell us it can be finished in 3 - 4 weeks.  It will be similar in style to the main floor.  Here's how it looks now:

The stairs lead to the basement.  The wood on the handrail and banister is so pretty.

This greets you when you get to the bottom of the stairs.



This is to the left.  There will be a utility room for the furnace and water heater, and a storage closet under the stairs.



This is the view to the right. Plastic sheets are hung over the insulation. There are nice, deep windows at both ends.

You can see how long it is.  Even though it's not a full basement, it will be nice.  The bedrooms will go on the far end and the bathroom will be on the left just past the utility closet.  We are hoping to put a pool table and/or game table, a family room and a preschool section here.  It will be fun to watch it come together.
