When most people think of basement living, they imagine dark, windowless spaces that feel more like storage areas than livable rooms. Garden-level homes challenge this perception entirely, offering basement spaces flooded with natural light that feel as inviting as any other level of your home.
At Windmill Homes' Greenspire at Windsor Lake community, every premium lot features garden-level design—a rare advantage that changes how you experience your home.
What Makes Garden-Level Homes Special
Garden-level homes sit on lots with carefully planned slopes that position the basement partially above ground level. Unlike standard flat lots where basements remain completely underground, garden-level design allows for full-sized windows that bring abundant natural light into lower-level spaces.
This thoughtful positioning creates basement areas that feel bright, open, and naturally connected to the outdoors—spaces where you actually want to spend time, not just store holiday decorations.
The Natural Light Difference
Natural light improves any living space, but its impact on basement levels is particularly dramatic. Garden-level windows eliminate the typical basement feeling of being closed off from the world above. Instead, these spaces become:
-
Naturally bright family rooms perfect for entertaining
-
Home offices with inspiring views and energy-boosting daylight
-
Guest suites that feel welcoming rather than underground
-
Recreation spaces where kids and adults naturally gravitate
Research consistently shows that exposure to daylight improves mood, increases productivity, and enhances overall well-being—benefits that extend throughout your home when basement spaces become truly livable.
Garden-Level Living at Greenspire
Many homes at Greenspire at Windsor Lake sit on a carefully selected garden-level lot, ensuring that each homeowner enjoys the natural light advantage in their basement spaces. This feature represents Windmill Homes' commitment to thoughtful site planning and premium living experiences.
Designer-Crafted Integration
Windmill's design team maximizes the garden-level advantage by:
-
Strategic window placement that captures optimal natural light throughout the day

Interior layouts that flow seamlessly between the main level and naturally lit basement spaces

The Complete Living Experience
Garden-level homes at Greenspire provide a complete lifestyle upgrade. Picture morning coffee in a sun-filled lower-level family room, afternoon work sessions in a naturally lit home office, or evening entertainment in spaces that feel connected to the beautiful surroundings.
Maximizing Your Garden-Level Space
The natural light advantage of garden-level design opens possibilities that simply don't exist in traditional basement spaces:
Entertainment Areas
Create sophisticated gathering spaces where guests never feel like they're "going down to the basement." Natural light makes these areas feel like an extension of your main living spaces.
Home Offices
Work in basement spaces that energize rather than drain you. Garden-level windows provide the daylight exposure that supports productivity and well-being during long work sessions.
Guest Accommodations
Welcome visitors to comfortable guest suites that feel bright and welcoming. Garden-level design eliminates the typical "basement guest room" stigma.
Recreational Spaces
Enjoy home gyms, playrooms, or hobby areas where natural light creates an inspiring atmosphere for activities and creativity.
