You can make the recessed area a entertainment area, or nice shelves for a library. Why would you put a bathroom in the basement. unless you turned it into a big family recreation room. Adding a fence to the front or back yard is a plus also you will be amazed at how much that will raise value of the house if you don’t already have them. When ever you enter a home the first impression will be your walkway and entry way then stairs, fireplaces, anything at eye level will be important to fix. Windows and how they are displayed, what type of coverings. Good luck Four bedrooms is enough you might want to consider putting a office or small reading room.

In spite of the fact that you live in an area that is mostly untouched by the huge slump in housing, I hear daily knowledgeable advisers telling people in these situations to do nothing, and I think that would apply to you. It actually sounds however, like you and your husband truly enjoy working on your house. I think that’s wonderful that you enjoy working together on your house which sounds wonderful. Understand that I am no expert, but my opinion is: More than four bedrooms is not often wanted. That room would be likely be used as you are probably using it–family room, game room, study, etc. Bathrooms in basements are an important thing. I have that as top candidate. You said it is roughed in. Does that include roughed in plumbing for input and waste water. Bathrooms in basements may require cutting into the concrete floor and finding where to connect your new bathroom to existing pipes. Can be tricky. Any time you have free labor of a skill, that is a good thing. That makes the “outback” a good candidate. Best advice is talk with a realtor and pose the question just as you did here. I congratulate you both on buying the quality appliances. I am certain that is a good selling point. As I said it sounds to me like you truly want to do one of these projects. I think, unless the realtor tells you you’re crazy, do the bathroom. Remember, though to think about the plumbing. Good luck both there and at your relocated destination.
