 everyone and welcome once again to another edition of the Red Run and Williams real estate show I'm Shannon Deskins along with Jennifer Brown Day and you know we've been talking about this warm weather and beautiful weather and it seems to be continuing knock on wood but what that spells for real estate is curb appeal time. Absolutely this is when the grass grows everything's green you've got flowers everywhere this is the perfect time to really work on the curb appeal especially if it's your listing work on really showing off your house for those people who are doing drive-bys like we recommend regularly. Yes and the ones doing drive-bys are the ones with cars full of children because the house is all of a sudden becoming very small so get out and when you realize that it's the time to go and find your new home do these drive-bys. Your Red Runner Williams signs are very prominent but as we've talked about before they don't have to be a Red Runner Williams listing for you guys to be able to represent somebody to buy that. Absolutely we can show anybody any listing as can any realtor so if you see something you like definitely give us a call we'd be honored to help you. Alright speaking of listings you like we're going to show you five of those today hopefully. The first one let's start out in Paintsville now this one is Kathy Brown's listing. This is Kathy's listing and this is on Walnut Avenue in Paintsville. If you're familiar with Paintsville at all and you know where Broadway is this is right off Broadway it's the neighborhood that sits right off Broadway and this is a really popular neighborhood it's a real one of those neighborhoods you can walk around in the evenings you can go out and ride your bikes and this also offers a really nice beautiful private backyard space which I know we love to talk about the outdoor space in downtown areas you don't always get that private yard or the yard space this house offers that it's a yard full of flowers and trees covered patio so very very usable it's got a newly updated kitchen solid surface countertops all new appliances so you have those updates already completed hopefully it's one you could just move in right three bedrooms on the second floor and you got a full bath so you've got one on the bottom floor so no matter what combination that you that you need that it would fit your family it seems like this house could accommodate that I think so and you also the great thing that I like is is that older style home so you've got that cottage style they offer a living room plus a family room that had both of them have fireplaces so after this hot hot summer that we're having you can always count on you're going to have those fireplaces to heat up during the winter right now well you said off Broadway convenient to everything paintsville has to offer shopping schools and everything so if this is an area that you're looking at possibly purchasing a home into in then definitely look at this one Kathy Brown's listing and the price under $200,000 that's correct it's listed at $199 and again like you said call Kathy Brown and you can actually email her would probably be the easiest on this one that see Brown at rbnw.com all right now moving on now this one's actually in Prestonburg but it's still out of the paintsfield office now this one's on Conley Fork in Prestonburg it is and Conley Fork is kind of one of those it's very close to Johnson County even though it's in Floyd County and it's off of Abbott Creek in 1750 so if you're familiar with that area you've turned on Abbott Creek in Floyd County and you're kind of winding back around towards Johnson County right and Abbott Creek it comes out right on us 23 so if you're traveling us 23 between Prestonburg and paintsfield Abbott Creek is right there so it's it's convenient but yet far enough off of the main road to where you still have that country feel you know looking at the price on this one you know a hundred and four that's under a hundred and fifteen thousand dollars so no matter what your budget is your budget may be a little bit more but you can always buy a house like this with the property and make it your own you've got fourteen fifty square feet but the great thing is you also have an attached screening porch so if you ever wanted to finish that out for additional square footage you could but you also have that outdoor space that we both love so much where you can sit outside enjoy spring and fall weather enjoy your evenings anything like that I mean and looking on the inside you've got your hardwood flooring you've got your fireplace and then a lot of people love those big bright airy kitchens and this one you can see the picture of that and you know looking at that front yard gardening you know trampolines playground equipment even a pool you've got room for every bit of that so this is one of those I'm going to go back into and say it again come into this one make it your own absolutely especially at the price right as we said just a minute ago a hundred and fourteen nine so under a hundred and fifteen thousand dollars for this home you get the privacy you get everything with that so give them a call this is your listing but they can call the paintsville office absolutely call the paintsville office you can talk to any of our agents down there that number 606-789-8119 all right moving to our next listing let's get up into pike county a little bit now if you're going from freshtonsburg into pike county this one's going to be in cold run just off to your left correct and if you're familiar with where Wendy's is it is a road right past Wendy's if you're coming from that direction and this is on Childers Road this house you will never know is there from us 23 it's four acres there is quite a hillside but you have like you said that huge yard that you can see and they've done all the extras with this one that yard has a sprinkler system that's on its own water meter wow three tier system so you can do it in sections or anything like that so you have those kind of extras that really make this house special and all the green thumbs right now are going wow because I have some plants that require more water than others so you can go okay this section over here gets water twice a day this is one that they redid in around 2006 so they redid the kitchen all new cabinets countertops they went with granite appliances are all stainless and they redid flooring they added the master bedroom suite with a tile floor that's heated in a walk-in shower it really does have all those extras and looking at you know the kitchen you see the recess lighting and then talk about an open floor plan you can tell a couple of these pictures you're looking for one room straight into the other and then my favorite room is actually the sunroom picture that we also have on there that sunroom is so private and it's a large room so it really is a separate living space but it's just you're surrounded by windows it's like you're sitting outside so it's a large enough home that everybody can have their own space everybody can be home at the same time but not be in each other's face and have that privacy exactly and then you've talked about this one before saying that you are so close to us 23 and cold run but you don't know it you can't even see the four lane from where this is so definitely now is this one they can do a drive by one absolutely this is one that you can do a drive by one like I said the road is right there close to where Wendy's is and cold run so you can drive up there take a look from the from the road and see what you think and then give you a call absolutely all right this is your listing so let's give you the Pikeville office number okay that number 606-437-2333 okay moving on to the next one just up the road from this this last one at cold run this one's on rattles creek and this one as you know rattles creek is a popular area because you're just out of the city limits you're only about a mile off us 23 so it's not far up rattles creek at all in a great location super convenient really you're kind of in the middle of rattles creek so you can get very easily to 23 you can get very easily to town mountain road and 119 right very very convenient for the days when when 23 traffic is bad just go out the other way convenience it's always nice to be able to say there's two ways to get to this house it's got 2700 square feet above grade that is finished you have another 800 square feet that is below grade unfinished basement but I will tell you this is a basement I don't care to walk into you know some of those below grade basements yeah a little sketchy on walking down there this is one you can walk straight into and not have a worry cleanest dry you don't feel like you've got spiders all over your type of basement so I mean we're truly we're really looking at almost 3500 square feet even though you can't count what's what's below grade but you've got tons of space for whatever you want to do with this home absolutely this one screams family to me plus you've got all this flat area two acres this close to downtown Pikeville it's something you don't see very often it isn't and this you can tell the reason that I took the outside picture that shows the side yard is because look at that yard I mean you actually have you could do a pool a garage a playground you could build another house if you really wanted to I mean it's a large yard space so for for those families that have maybe the the elderly person that needs to come back and live close to them but yeah they still want their own independence this gives all kinds of options for things like that it really does all right and you've got the two car garage built in so more things that we can mention in this show so if this is picking your interest uh let's just give your email address on that one okay the email is jbrown at rbnw.com all right 265 thousand for this one so still very affordable that close to the city if that's your market and that's the price range you're in definitely give Jennifer a call or an email her on that one now moving to this last one we we've saved a brand new listing for last because this is one we've not featured before correct this is a brand new listing and it is located right off Chloe Road if you're coming from town you're about four miles up on the right if you're coming from four sixty eighty you're about a half mile up on the left and like we talked about a minute ago you know Chloe Road is very popular because a lot of people they need to go to the Elkhorn area or Shilbiana or anything on that end very accessible and actually you're closer to that end with this home but on the other way I mean just go right down and you're in downtown Paipo on the other end of chloe exactly very convenient especially if you've got somebody working on either either side of the town or anything like that very convenient location and you know this one's another one with a yard I think the theme today is nice yards yeah this is the nice yard show and this is another one that offers a lot of possibilities it does you've got about a half acre you can see from the front and the rear picture that are included the front picture actually shows they've got part of the yard gravel they've got a camper and that kind of stuff so you could have tons of parking with the driveway that's there that now you could easily park six to eight cars if you wanted to so you have a lot of space plus you can see that beautiful large yard in the front in the back and this is one that you know we talk about drive-byes this is sitting right on the main chloe but you wouldn't know that it is so close to the main road by looking at it so it sits back off the road enough to give you just enough of a feel to have that yard and you're not right on that road it does and to be honest this is one that you can easily pass it sits a little bit I wouldn't say hidden but it kind of does like you you almost don't even see it where it sits so you still have that privacy even from the house you don't feel like you're directly on chloe and then you know for those who like large rooms I mean the kitchen you can tell large kitchen and then that's a large sectional in that living room and not everyone has a couch that large so just think if you're thinking well I've got a couch in the love seat how much larger that living room is going to look like exactly and that's why we included that picture is it shows the size of the living room what you don't see is right where I'm standing to take the picture is a beautiful fireplace oh wow so you also have that character and charm in that living room as well and then this one's had a lot of updates they updated the kitchen and both bathrooms fairly recently so it's also got a lot of that that hopefully somebody wouldn't have to come in and do so this one's got a lot of space and I know that's probably one of your biggest challenges doing this show is going we've got room for four pictures what four pictures do I have that is a perfect representation of this listing exactly and it makes it hard so you want to show everybody a variety right because you know it's like inside outside large bedrooms so if it's something that in these four pictures you're thinking wow I want to see more than then absolutely Jennifer can take care of you and this one being a new listing I'm sure you're going to be one of the first ones to take a look at this oh yes oh and I hope everybody calls the great news he is just so everybody knows our stuff feeds directly into realtor.com okay it now also feeds directly into Zillow.com so if you see a listing that you want and you want to see these extra pictures both of those websites can help you out wow and on this one that we were just talking about on Chloe 189,000 so under 200,000 for for what we've shown you and everything today has been about in that price range so I mean this is one of those give Jennifer a call there's no reason why if two of these or three of these were appealing to you that you can't schedule all of those in one afternoon oh absolutely we do that all the time so anything you have an interest in and if we know you have an interest in something that are similar to these we can always add a few to them that we think might fit as well which is always one of the bonuses to hiring a realtor absolutely all right I'm going to step out now and let you finish up the show with your real estate minute thank you how
