BENEFITS OF A SEPARATE BASEMENT ENTRANCE
For a Rental Suite
Many people are now considering supplementing their income/pension by renting out the basement or building a basement apartment. You can legally rent out your apartment if you build one in your home. However, if the person is moving in and out of your common area, this can become awkward. A side entrance will improve privacy whether you want to rent out an entire basement suite or just one bedroom.
​
Not only that but a rental suite with an additional door will be considered more desirable. It will rent out faster and you will be able to ask for more money for it.
For Multi-Generational Families
A family can live together across generations rather than buying homes separately. Creating distinct family zones is the solution. For instance, elderly parents could value having a separate space in the basement while their children and parents live upstairs. This is simple and practical with a side entry. Grandparents are still able to participate actively in the lives of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren while coming and going as they wish.
For Pets and Kids
Do your kids and pets need to enter and exit the house frequently? A side door makes it simpler for children and teenagers to enter and exit with their friends without having to go through the front door of the house. They can set aside any sporting goods they may have with them. A mudroom, which can be positioned between your primary residence and the garage, is conveniently accessible from your side door. Before they ruin the rugs, your kids will be able to pick up after themselves and their shoes!
​
Dogs can also benefit greatly from this. If you frequently walk your dogs, you don't want their muddy paw prints or damp dog water all over the place.

For Curb Appeal
Few features are as dramatic as an entrance. Adding a second entrance to your home is a great way to jazz up an otherwise empty surface if you want to improve the curb appeal of your home. To ensure that it looks balanced, include both an entrance and windows. This will provide you with some opportunities to update the styling of your property as well.
Curb appeal is especially important if you plan to sell your home in the near future. Selling your home necessitates that it be unique and exciting. Few homes have a well-appointed side door, and this will be something that people remember about your home.
​
Installing a side entrance is probably less difficult than you think! In fact, side entrances can be built directly into brick walls, concrete, or any other surface. You can add not only doors, but also windows and other features to make your home more appealing. You can get an estimate for the cost of this type of renovation right now.
