While often used interchangeably by homeowners, a cellar and a basement have distinct historical and structural differences. A cellar is typically an unconditioned, completely subterranean space lacking plumbing or heating, traditionally used for storing wine, root vegetables, or perishables under cool earth temperatures. A basement is a modern, larger structural foundation level that can be fully finished, heated, plumbed, and integrated into the main residential living space of a home.
