Every house I have ever owned had cold floors in the basement (even when
carpeted). The last house we bought does not have in-floor heat. The
basement is unfinished with the exception of being framed. We could pour
another 3" of concrete on the floor and put the right plumbing in the floor
for heat, but I am curious if there are simpler options (besides wearing
slippers).

If this is an issue in a very small area (like a desk or workbench) then be
aware that there are rubber electrically heated mats made for just this issue.
Try a Staples or such.
