Basements in Tavistock
Tavistock is in the north of Oxford County, close to Stratford, and it has grown with newer subdivisions in recent years. Many of those homes were built with unfinished basements, often with a bathroom rough-in, which makes them good candidates to finish.
Older homes in the village have basements that may need a moisture check and a more careful plan, but can make great living space too.
