“This house on my running route is partially sunken into the ground.”
“Just a guess, but maybe it was built during the ’70s energy crisis. A home near where I grew up was built with a berm around most of it to save on heating and cooling.”

It's simply a basement home.
You have a home at a very inexpensive price.
Also saves on heating and air conditioning costs.

The "basement home" is often an economic start to build a home in stages, and "pay-as-you-go", avoiding high interest fees. Interest rates aren't locked-in until the building is deemed liveable, so it is a shortcut when economic inflation hits in the middle of a project.
