Why not just call out a couple contractors that can actually look at the house, and have a much better idea of the scope of the job, and get quotes from them?
Keep in mind that if you don't already have egress that you will need it to meet code and that is an additional cost.
I don't believe you need separate egress unless you're looking at a separate sleeping area. In Michigan, finished basements couldn't be counted as "finished square footage" for the purposes of a sale without additional egress.. however, that didn't mean you couldn't legally finish your basement (flooring, drywall, ceilings, etc..) to use as a "rec room" or whatever.
You just couldn't count it as finished square footage.
Most of the homes in my neighborhood have finished basements of the size the OP is talking about.. Less than half have any additional egress. For most people they are a place for a bar, or additional family room (pool table), and "hang out" space.. maybe a home gym.
As a builder option to finish the basement was about $20k.
You should call some local contractors (this is the time of year for home shows... there will be numerous basement finishing companies at your local home shows) and get a quote.
My house is 2,450 sqft bought the house for 139k it was shocking how much I have had to put into this house... So far 50k but houses in this neighborhood sell for 250/300k.
Briolat21, where I live you must have egress if you are putting up walls and laying flooring. It does not have to be an actual living space. While I am sure that it is different in other parts of the country, when I moved here, you did not need egress. More places are now requiring it for safety purposes.
Another word of advice is permits. When you do or get anyone to do work that needs a permit make sure you get one. Not everything needs a permit but if your area needs one get one.
I finished my 1500 sq. ft. walkout basement 3 years ago for ~$20/sq.ft. doing much of the work myself. Basement was a walkout which already had windows/doors on the back wall. There were 2 2x6 bearing walls which I needed to incorporate into the finished space. I built a 2x4 wall about an inch from the poured concrete wall, ran all the electric. There were already rough ins for a full bath. It included a smaller heat pump for the basement as that was cheaper than zoning the 1st floor unit. I hired out insulation (spray foam), HVAC, drywall, trim, painting and carpet. I did design, carpentry, electric, plumbing, inspector management (had to pass like 9 different inspections), home theater equipment install and all the niggling stuff like re-routing 1st floor ducts/pipes/wires so they didnt hang down into the basement living space (or cause me to lose headroom to build excessive soffits).
Now I'm looking to move so I can repeat the process elsewhere. Next project I want to try this stuff: https://insofast.com/
Don't think my wife will go along with that though.
Our house was that size. We finished the basement and added a bathroom $20,000
