I'm not really into trains, but it would be great if one day I found a 1970's computer room in my basement, complete with cold water lines, 3278 and 3279 terminals, and some tape drives...

I'd be happy to discover a basement, even if the first thing I'd do would be to call the police to check if nobody went missing near my neighborhood in the past few decades.

having a basement - that's ok. Having a hidden basement - hard no on the property. And if the basement door was nailed shut or hidden - I'm leaving the house right now, seen too many movies, there's a victorian doll/music box/portrait with staring eyes waiting for the next person to go in there

Really if you find a hidden basement make sure it has airflow or it could easily suffocate you.
