Basement - Kitchen or bar?
Wondering what you guys think of having a seperate kitchen/bar in the basement?
We do have a walkup (basement to backyard), bathroom, laundry and entertainment area already exist.
I get alot of people saying NO, just a bar, your old fashioned or "European" and others say, a kitchen is nice to have.
IMO, I would say if I didn't have a seperate enterance, then bar would make sense.
Basement is above ground and gets alot of natural light as we have large basement windows.
I leaning toward bar/kitchen combo - F/S/DW but wife isn't sure about the stove part. whish doesn't make sense to me.
From a resale value, i would think it's more valuable as it can be legally rented out as the basement has it's own entrance.
We're finding we spend more time downstairs because we just adopted new puppies but only time will tell if that continues.
