I've only not had a basement once, and that was when we lived in an apartment long ago when I was in the early single digit era of my life.
But yes, we have a pretty vast basement, considering. And it's partially finished (the ceiling and the walls, but the floor is still like a basement), so it's not all creepy and cellar like.

The vacuum cleaner, since it's used upstairs, is in a closet on the first floor, and not the basement with the laundry stuff.
The rest--the back porch. Except for the batteries--that goes in a junk drawer in the kitchen.

Oh, and there's bathroom down there.
<--wonders if this helps you or not in your initial question.
