Homes with a Basement for Sale in Exeter, NH

Find Exeter, NH Homes for Sale with a Basement

Exeter sits where the Squamscott turns tidal, and the ground rises away from it on both sides, which is why so much of the town is built over a basement. The older houses near Front Street, Water Street and the academy have stone or brick cellars used for utilities and storage. The subdivisions built from the nineteen sixties onward out toward Epping and Brentwood have full poured basements, and a large share of those have been finished at some point. Great Island Realty can tell you which is which.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the basement finished?

It varies widely. The listing flag marks the presence of a basement rather than its condition, so the detail page and the assessment card are where to check.

Does the river matter?

It can. Property near the Squamscott and the lower ground around it carries its own drainage and flood considerations that affect what a basement can be used for.

What should be inspected?

Moisture history, sump and perimeter drainage, foundation condition in an older stone or brick cellar, egress windows in any finished bedroom, and radon testing.
