Mine is in the basement (which has a walk out entrance). I created our house plans and the basement has a master bedroom & master size closet which I use as my sewing room & storage. My thoughts were later on if we sell, it would be an attractive feature to buyers to have 2 master bedrooms (one on each level)... plus, my daughter can come downstairs to watch television in the main part of the basement and can go outside and I can watch her play. The only bad thing is.. I'm down her most of the time and when the doorbell rings... it takes me a long time to get to it.
