an area or room in a house or building that is partially or completely below the ground level
A basement is a room or area located below the main floor of a building, typically used for storage, utilities, or additional living space. Basements are often accessed by stairs and can be partially or fully underground. In many homes, the basement houses systems like the furnace, water heater, and electrical panels. Depending on its condition and design, a basement can be finished to provide extra living space, such as a recreation room, home office, or bedroom. Basements can also be used for laundry, storage, or workshops.
