The Basement Tour
/Welcome to the basement of one one seven! Eventually the basement will be a two bedroom apartment, but right now its one big empty, unfinished space with concrete floors and exposed brick walls. Fortunately the ceilings are full height so we won’t have to dig out the basement too much.
Current floorplan of the basement
You can see all the exposed wiring and piping, some of which I’ve been warned are lead! Most of the basement is in pretty good condition, although the mortar between some of the bricks has almost totally disintegrated over time, which happens in a 113 year old house.
The back quarter of the basement is a small room with stairs up to the first floor and a door out to the backyard. That awesome green and orange color palette will be repeated elsewhere in the house.
