Can you tell from the pictures? And no, I can't walk inside.

Doesn't appear that way. I didn't think many houses near water have basements to begin with.
Not sure but for what it's worth the house next door looks to have a basement.
I would say it does. In the second pic you can see the intake/exhaust for the furnace and dryer which are at the height suggesting they are in a basement. If it's a full basement is another question.

If it does I would guess you would find a body.
I'd guess from the pics no basement because there are no windows...
I suspect it has a crawlspace in part of it. The house has a lot of bad grading.
If you go to the tax assessor's website for the city it is in and search for the tax bill it will usually say what size if any basement it has.
Furnace PVC in and out have to be pitched to the furnace, so either its a full basement or crawl space, furnace is 40-48" tall + plenums, if layed on its side still 3' tall for proper installation..
Probably a crawl space.
Full basement.
Pic 2 shows venting for furnace and dryer. Dryer would not be in a crawl space.
Pic 3 show 2" rigid insulation extending to top of foundation.
Run from lake to building looks significant and so does rise in elevation from water to structure.
Full basement is my bet.
That house looks to be built on a concrete slab foundation. The houses I've seen like that, they run the pipes in the concrete. It has a utility room for the HVAC and Waterheater. If it was a full basement by code it would have to have windows and if it had a crawl space you still would have 12-14 inches of the foundation above grade by code. The grading around that house is horrible.
The whole no basement by water idea is false, I've been it many that were 20-30 feet from the water.
I have nothing of interest to add, except im interested in why one would need to know this? haha
I think that is a ledger board that was added to the rim joist in preparation for a deck that was never added.
In the 90s it was popular to put the furnace in the crawlspace through the floor of a closet.
There appear to be no vents (which is a bad idea for a crawl space) and there appear to be no windows. So, I doubt it has a full basement. It may have a basement in the middle of the house for the mechanicals. However, I suspect it has a crawlspace in most of it with poured slab in other parts. Terrible grading and no gutters would lead to a pretty wet basement and I see no sump pump discharge.
There aren't enough pictures.
Go ask the neighbor ??
I think the house is going to auction and may be sold without being able to tour it (not that I would buy it without touring though). Construction was ever finished on this house. I think it was intented to have a porch or deck wrap around the front, right side and rear of the house. The basement thing is really confusing me. Some spots looks like it has it and other areas look like you can see the dirt under the slab. I know windows in a basement are not required and having a basement near a lake is pretty common. Here a picture of the rear of the house.

Its also not listed in the tax reccords. I think it may have been a menards kit house.
I found the answer (but not exactly sure what it means). Basement: Partial; W/Crawl Space
