Move-In Ready Homes with Basement Finish Options in the Twin Cities

Once, Minnesota basements were strictly a utilitarian necessity. Dank, dark, and only begrudgingly occupied during severe summer weather. 

Thankfully, things are better today. 

Finished basements are now favored entertainment and family spaces in modern homes. What’s more, in the world of move-in-ready new construction, they may even offer some attractive opportunities not always available for a property considered ‘finished'.

The Best of Both Worlds: Where ‘Custom’ and ‘Move-in-Ready’ Meet

An already finished basement (like you see in this home) is, of course, the quickest option if you’re looking for move-in-ready new construction. However, that doesn’t leave much (if any) room to customize, forcing you to give up on one of the biggest draws of new construction. That’s where the specific appeal of an unfinished basement comes in.

This combination of new construction + move-in-ready + unfinished basement presents home buyers with a rare opportunity. The chance to enjoy the perks of customizing a brand-new home with the original homebuilder, but without the extended timeline necessary for a ground-up build.
