Basement Showdown

Did Your Favorite Basement Remodel Win?

Most of us only dream about finishing our basement. We have always thought about transforming the space into a place we can get away, rather than just using it as another storage area. A finished basement could be used for a home office, a man cave, a home gym, a basement playroom, a guest suite, and much more.

Maybe someday we will all get the basement of our dreams, but for the time being we put four of our favorite basement remodeling projects against each other to see which one would get voted the ultimate basement.

And the winner of the ultimate basement showdown is, with over 40% of the votes…

Recreational Basement with a Hidden Secret

Recreational Basement with a Hidden Secret

This 1,420 square foot basement (finished area) located in Chagrin Falls, Ohio has a space for everyone in the family to use and enjoy. The 990 square foot recreational area features a walk-out to the rear yard and includes a carpeted area for the kids to play, floating shelves between large finished columns, a mounted flat screen TV, a luxuriously appointed half-bathroom, and a finished walk-in storage closet. What makes this basement unlike any other is the hidden secret ‘Murphy Door’ that leads to a period-styled custom home wet bar. 

This completely custom and unique 430 square foot space is the ideal adult hangout. From the moment you walk in, the space immerses you in a ‘Speakeasy’ feel, reminiscent of the Prohibition era. From the custom-built wet bar with it’s period-style bar stools, lighting fixtures and finishes, to the brick wall stamped with “vote against prohibition”, this space transports you back to the early 1900’s.
