Oakton homes built in the 1970s through the 1990s commonly have full, unfinished basements — walkout configurations, nine-foot ceilings, and footprints large enough to create two or three distinct spaces. That square footage is sitting unused, or underused, in a market where livable space is one of the primary drivers of value.
