I think your problem is this (based on you saying it has a basement): If you dig into the ground at ALL and attempt to use the dirt wall as part of your wall, Terraria thinks it’s not valid housing. Take out that hammer and get rid of 100% dirt walls and replace it with whatever kind of wall you want.
