<p>An unfinished basement is like a blank canvas to the painter.  You have the opportunity to create from scratch and fill in the missing elements in your home.  Whether it is a guest suite, home theater, wine cellar, exercise room or any other space, nothing is as accommodating as an unfinished basement.</p>
<p>Basements are not longer the damp, musty cellars of our grandparents’ era.  Today they are the gathering place for family and friends to relax and enjoy a host of recreational activities.  For most, space is limited and must server many competing forces.  Our thoughtful approach to helping you design projects to suit your lifestyle, will allow even the most challenging situation to enjoy efficient and comfortable use of the space.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Construction tools and techniques have advanced steadily over the years, but a seemingly lost art is the ability to think. It is the simple things really: Where do the light switches belong and what order should they be in? Is there a good spot to drop the mail? Will the flooring and handrails withstand the rigors of children? Where will the kids do their homework? Do you love books?]]></description>

<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><img class="size-full wp-image-744 aligncenter" title="Outdoor Living - Lake Norman" src="http://ironriver.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Outdoor-Fireplace-11.jpg" alt="Outdoor Living - Lake Norman" width="600" height="449" /></p>
<p>Among the many benefits of living on the Carolinas, we have the ability to enjoy the outdoors for the bulk of the year.  A well designed outdoor living space will compliment the way you live and entertain.  If you are considering an outdoor cooking center, screened or open air porch or an elaborate deck, it is important to consider the overall project in terms of how you live and how it can be integrated into your home and yard.  The best projects are the ones that have the most thought applied.  As a simple example, if you like open air porches, you will need to consider the use of multiple ceiling fans to help repel mosquitoes.  Most people do not realize that Mosquitoes do not like wind speed approaching their own flying speed of up to 3.6 MPH.  It is a simple consideration that can make an enormous difference in your ability to effectively use and enjoy the space.  Tell us what it is that you need and like, and we can help to craft a project the will support your comfortable lifestyle.  You may also view some pictures of our previous <a href="http://ironriver.com/portfolio/outdoor-living/">Outdoor Living </a> projects.</p>

<p>The home offers the luxury of a combined total of 5,500+ square feet on the first and second floors. The Basement add another 3,400. One of the truly unique aspects of this home is the way the basement has been designed. For most, a basement offers the ability to craft a perfect living space ideally suited for your own lifestyle. The challenge is to have a ready to occupy home while still offering design and finish flexibility for the basement. For this project we have found a way to offer the best of both worlds.<span id="more-27"></span></p>
<p>The first and second floors will be completely finished at closing. The basement has the infrastructure ready to finish however the Customer would like. We will work with the Customer to design the layout and amenities in the basement to your precise requirements. The final finishes for the basement should take only about 60 days to complete and can be done while the home is occupied. The purchase price includes an allowance to finish the basement with the same level of quality and attention to detail as the rest of the home.</p>
