If you’re shopping for property and find land with a slope, you might consider adding a walk-out basement to your design plan. There are plenty of reasons to use a natural slope to be part of the design of a walkout basement. Walkout basements have plenty of benefits. They absolutely increase useful living space to your home. The added light alone makes a walk-out basement feel less like a basement and more like just an extra area of the home. Walk-out basements also add value to a home. So, if you’re planning to sell your home that you are building down the road, a walk-out basement can be a good investment.

Walk-Out Basements

You’ve probably seen walk-out basements. They are just as their name implies. They incorporate a wall of the basement with doors and windows on a ground level instead of having all of the walls underground. Usually, you will search for a building site with a slope to the rear of the property. Walk-out basements with access to the back-yard are wonderful for entertaining. Often walk-out basements lead to a patio outside. Sometimes you will see a walk-out with a cantilevered roof above the porch area. This ends up supporting a deck from the upper floor of the house. This feature is gorgeous.
