Which was why it was fun to find this trio of distinctive and pricy properties in the 2-1-0 that each feature a basement.
The first, a $2.6 million spread in the Dominion, boasts a bar, wine cellar, man cave and movie theater with old-school folding seats in its underground level. Meanwhile, the basement in the second home, a 1925 residence in Monte Vista, is equipped with its own living area and dining space, along with a kitchen and a wine room.
The third house, a 1910 build located in Midtown, has a basement that's still not finished out, enabling an ambitious do-it-yourselfer to transform it into a unique subterranean hideaway.
