Suwanee Real Estate: Homes with Full, Finished Basements

Five homes on the market with finished terrace levels

One of the most common features a potential buyer in Suwanee and elsewhere 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 240 homes on the market in Suwanee, about 150 properties have full basements. This week, Suwanee Real Estate takes a close look at five examples. If you are interested in more information about a particular property, please click the highlighted link.
