It's All About That Base(ment): Cobb County Homes With Stellar Cellars

MARIETTA, GA -- Aside from location, square footage is the gold standard by which a home is measured. The more room in your home, the more zeros you could potentially have on your check when you sell it. And while it may not be always possible to spread 5,000 square feet across a quarter-acre lot, basements offer much usable space.

For years, basements were dissed as a musty old place unused and unwanted, but things have changed. Homeowners see the value in finishing, renovating or just sprucing up their subterranean environs.

Here are a number of top-notch homes on the market around Cobb County that have finished basements. Go down and take a look around:
