 everyone and welcome once again to another edition of the Red Brun and Williams real estate show. I'm Shannon Deskins along with Jennifer Brown Day and Jennifer I think with fingers crossed we may be finished with winter. It seems like it. It seems like we're going into spring the weather's getting warmer and it's staying warmer so I think we're all pretty optimistic it's here. You know we'll have those Blackberry winners and Redbud winners and I'm not sure what other wins we have a few cold spells but for the most part people are starting to plan their landscaping planting things so that's a great time if you've got a home for sale to work on your curb appeal absolutely and I'm actually going to talk in the real estate minute today about the neighborhood curb appeal and even though you're not the house for sale helping all those houses for sale by cleaning up your yard and stuff as well so it is the perfect time to get started. All right well then let's tell about some houses that are for sale. Sounds good. The first one we'll start out that's in Johnson County and this was Kathy Brown listing. It is it's one of Kathy's listings like you said it's in Johnson County it's in the Tudor Quay area. Those familiar with Tudor Quay it is in Homestead Estates and that is not far out of the city limits of Painesville so not at all it's easily accessible to downtown Painesville because you can actually access Tudor Quay two ways one off of US 23 on the north end of Painesville and then through downtown Painesville so very quiet a country-like setting but yet just minutes from shopping and eating and everything that Painesville has to offer. Yes exactly which makes it very convenient to schools and that kind of stuff as well but it's not a small house you can see in the pictures it's about a 2,000 square foot house at the three bedroom two bath and then the great thing with this one the extra space is outside you get two lots with this almost a half acre which for a subdivision lot is a really nice size piece of property. Yeah because a lot of times you will see in a subdivision a house is built on a about of a quarter-acre lot. Well these people had the the forethought to buy two lots and build in the middle so you've got room for an in-ground pool a play area gardening anything that you want to do now's the time to start thinking about those summertime plans. Exactly and this one it does have a fenced yard already perfect for kids or a pad or and just for the extra privacy but like you said you have plenty of room if you wanted to add a pool if you wanted to do a big playground if you wanted to do anything like that you have the room for it. And it looks like you're talking about room the inside has a lot of room also you've got we've got pictures of this large living room I love the layout of that kitchen where everything you've got room to move around between when you're taking things out of the oven and going to the fridge and going to the sink you've got a lot of room. Exactly it does it appears especially in the pictures to have a lot of space and then one thing about the house not counted in the square footage is you have a permanent staircase that's up to Florida attic space that has not been made into finished living area but easily could be so it's either really really accessible storage or you could always come you know make another bedroom you can make a playroom whatever you want to do. And this one too on the price $195,000 but that's a reduction it's been reduced recently. Yeah it was just recently reduced and like you said this one's out of our Paintsville office this is Kathy Brown's listing so they can give her a call for more information on this house. Alright let's give that Paintsville office number. Okay that number is 606-789-8119. Alright and the MLS number on this one 106-476 so when you give Kathy a call mention that number and she'll be able to pull that listing right up. Mm-hmm sounds good. Well the next listing that we're going to touch on today is also Kathy Brown's listing so this will be another one out of the Paintsville office. Yes this one's also in Johnson County and this one is actually in the West Van Lear area. Now this one is if you're coming into the Paintsville area we all know that Route 1428 has been closed for a while but you could still access West Van Lear by taking that exit or that turn off. Yeah you go to on 1428 and you're going to take right before the roads actually close you're going to take a right off towards West Van Lear. And that kind of takes you down a hill a little bit but then you come right into this big residential area which is West Van Lear. Yeah it is. And it's a popular neighborhood I know a lot of people like this area because it's lake back it's kind of nestled in between the hills. And this house is no exception this one actually sits on the creek side lot so your backyard overlooks the creek you've got a fenced yard to enjoy that on you've got a big back deck that overlooks all of it so you really can kind of separate yourself from the downtown and have a little bit of privacy here. And I love the pictures on this one especially you know I'm an outdoorsy person so I'm loving this covered deck. Yes yes isn't it nice and of course you can tell to the right side of that picture that that's where the creek is it's got a ceiling fan out there so it's kind of an extra room onto your house this is one that you know you would actually use as part of your living space. You know you're looking out of the backyard you're not seeing the front street in front of the house you're sitting on that back deck so that's great for coffee or evening get-togethers or anything and I see the ceiling fan so when it gets hot in the summertime and the ceiling fan on and like you said you've got an additional room in your house. Exactly exactly and then underneath the deck is actually a carport. They use it for a covered parking which is great you know makes it easier in one of those winters like we're just coming out of. Yes. That you have your parking covered and then inside the house it's actually a very nice spacious layout to this house it's about 1,300 square feet a little bit over two bedrooms two full bass and then you also have some below grade square footage a little under 300 square feet below grade that's unfinished but could easily be used for additional storage or extra space as well. Right and then you're talking about you know the kitchen and inside they've done a lot of work I mean I see new countertops and new refrigerator and stove. This is one that I'm excited for you to tell on the price as well because I think it's priced well so it's one that I think will spark some interest. Well there's going to be a lot of interest because number one this is a brand new listing so I don't expect something under $90,000 to last long yes that's right $89,000 is the price on this house in West Van Leer and we mentioned at the beginning of this listing is Kathy Brown's listing so let's go over her email address. Okay her email is cbrown at rbnw.com and when you do email Kathy or call her at the Paintsville office mention 106553. In the next one we've actually talked about before but I'm really excited because it's one that they've reduced the price on they're motivated to sell it that is the one at Dending Fork in Pocfield. Now this is just off of Little Creek so it's going to be on the south side of the Pockeville city limits by just a few minutes. Just a few minutes very very accessible once you turn off 23 Little Creek is literally you know right there you're not far at all and then this is if you go down Little Creek you're gonna go about a mile and a half and Dending Fork comes up on your left and I love this listing because number one the price is great but everything that you're getting to I mean this house is cute and I remember you talking about such a great use of space on this house. Absolutely this is one it's a three bedroom two baths a Cape Cod style house the first floor bedroom first floor does have a bedroom and that can be a nice size master and then the second floor is literally two bedrooms and a full bath. The bedrooms and the bathrooms are some of the biggest bedrooms and bathrooms you will see especially in the Cape Cod style house. Easily king-size bed bedrooms you have bathrooms that you could you know renovate add double vanities that kind of stuff in. And you know when you're talking about king-size bed and furniture I know that's a big deal when people are moving from one house to another they they get accustomed to their bedroom suit or their living room suit. So it's I'm sure a lot of people come in to showings with measuring tapes. A measuring tapes or at least they have a general idea of what they want to fit in a room. So anytime you can walk in a room and you don't even have to measure or think about it you just know what's gonna fit it's a good good sign. And this one if you're looking at the picture of the front of the house you know you're like wow it's got a big yard it's got a lot more than a big yard this house is is sitting on 30 acres which is all included in this price. Correct and you probably have an acre to acre and a half flat and usable that you can see in the picture. And then the rest of it is the hillside acreage but what that gives you is the privacy. And then there are a couple flights that you could do something with later on if you really wanted to. Well this was one definitely worth seeing and the price is now a little lower than the last time we talked about this house. It is. 1249 for this Cape Cod house just off of Little Creek Road in Pike County. So I give Jennifer a call the Pikeville office. Pikeville office number 606-437-2333. Alright and 105-689 is the number for this house. Now for the next listing let's get back on 23 and go north just to the other side of the Pikeville City limits for Toley Lane. Yes and this one like you said is on that in a Pikeville in the Coal Run area. So it sits right off 23. You do you can't actually see 23 from it but you are about 500 feet off of 23. So it's a very close proximity and this is one that you have to see it to honestly believe it. You can look at the pictures and you get in a good idea but this is one that I really really if you're in this price range and looking this is one that you need to see. Four bedrooms three full baths and another half or two half baths you don't have to worry about space for your family. No you really don't and like you said it's four bedrooms again very nice size bedrooms. This is one that you're not gonna have much trouble fitting your furniture in or anything like that. This is a log home so it has a lot of wood features, wood doors, wood trim, kind of a unique style to it. Anybody that's in the in this looking they're looking for a log home they're gonna love these beams and the features that this one has but like you said the pictures don't do it justice and the pictures are absolutely beautiful look at that yard space. Yes and it sits on about three and a half acres most of which is gonna be usable so you don't have very many properties at all in Pike County that are gonna offer you that much space and it's a very picturesque setting. You can sit on the back deck you have complete privacy back there and it's just something that you really need to see to believe. And this is one of those areas we all travel 23 and we all look up in this exact area and I know where it is and to look at these pictures you have no idea that much space is there. Yeah you don't you don't this is kind of a hidden gem in Pike County. All right now the price on this one is 549 9 so if this is something you're if this is your price range and you're looking definitely give Jennifer a call or send her an email to get your showing scheduled and your email is the emails J Brown at rbnw.com. All right one zero five nine nine four and just tell them that's the house you want to look at the one on Tolly Lane just outside of Pikeville. Now the last listing that we're going to show today is actually your listing and it's in the city limits of Pikeville. Yes and this is one that we have talked about before but one that we get excited about because every time we talk about it we've got new and improved pictures because it's a new construction. Yeah and that's something we don't get to do very often if we get the opportunity to show a house on two different shows we have the same pictures and I recognize it but this one has changed we've gone from artist rendering to a completed house photo. Absolutely and you can we've got interior pictures now so you can see how beautiful the finishes are inside the house and you can really see the quality with which this was built so hopefully this has a buyer's name all over it when they see these pictures. Now this is the Keeser Heights subdivision in Pikeville and a lot of people are not understanding there's a new section being built at Keeser Heights now I mean it's a neighborhood that's been there for quite some time but they are now developing more areas. Yeah when you go up there and get to the top of the hill you take that left and near the top up there you're going to see a couple new houses this is the newest one and obviously it's for sale and ready for a new owner. And then not very often do you get to show a new home that no one else has lived in I mean this this one's one that you can skip all the stress of the construction phase and step right into it and be the first owners ever of this home. Yes you can be the first owner and it's got a lot of space it has a lot of things to offer it's over 1600 square feet is a three bedroom two bath and it is one that has an open floor plan so your kitchen is open to your dining area which is open to your living room which looks out on the back deck so it's a really nice open layout it has a walk-through laundry room from the garage that's oversized that also doubles as a pantry that really is a huge amenity people are really liking it. It sounds to me like the contractor made very good use of space on this one when he built this home. Absolutely there's there's a lot of closets there's a lot of use of the space like you said they tried not to waste anything and really do 1600 square feet of usable space for someone. Well if someone is in the price range of about $200,000 because that this one's $199,000 this one's a great one to look at. Like you said brand new construction just finished so if you're you've got cabin fever from the winter and you're wanting to get out and you're wanting a new home I would definitely suggest getting up with Jennifer on this one. Absolutely. Please do. The Pikeville office number is 606-437-2333. All right and now Jennifer with with the season starting to change I'm starting to see some buds coming out and I know you want to talk about curb appeal so it's time for your real estate minute. Sounds good. This week for the real estate minute let's talk about neighborhoods. Spring is finally here and that means more homes are coming on to an already active market even if you're not the home for sale in your neighborhood it's important to remember how you impact the sale of other homes in your area it's common knowledge that buyers will look at the neighborhood as well as the home they are potentially purchasing. As a neighbor you can help keep area value steady by maintaining curb appeal suitable for the area by cleaning up after your pants and making sure your home looks as inviting as the home for sale. Spring cleaning is not just for the listed properties but everyone can benefit from a good cleanup. Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Red Bride and Williams real estate show. We hope you will join us again soon.
