Light and a door. A walkout turns the basement into a lower level: full windows, a patio door and a yard. It appraises higher than a standard basement and lives like a second main floor.

The lot makes it. Walkouts sit on sloped lots, on ridge lines and along open space. The lot premium is part of the price, and it is the reason the view is there.

Drainage. Water runs downhill to the walkout door. We check the grading, the window wells, the sump and the patio slope on every one.

Retaining walls and decks. The deck above the walkout and the retaining walls beside it are big-ticket items. We look at both.
