 once again to an addition of the Red Brown and Williams real estate show. I'm Shannon Deskins along with Jennifer Brown Day and we are plugging through the summer. We are. It's almost halfway gone. It's like it's one of those things that you snap your fingers it's gone. Absolutely. Everybody's been enjoying vacations and the weather I think so from what I'm seeing on Facebook and word of mouth. One good thing word of mouth can sell houses. Absolutely. So when you're out and you're driving and you want to do that Sunday drive. One thing I want to mention before we get started on our listings is go to your favorite neighborhood and if that's the place you wanted to to live or you want to move your family to and there's a sign in the yard. It doesn't have to be Red Brown and Williams for you to for you to help them out. Oh not at all. The great thing about Eastern Kentucky is that we do co-broker our listings so a realtor from any company can show you any other company's listings and that whether that's us or whether that's another company I know that the realtor that they call me more than willing to help and get them in that house. Well let's show them five houses in the next few minutes that they would want to call you about. Sounds great. Okay the first one is in Preston'sburg. This is a brand new listing I actually just finished getting on the computer today so it's a it's a brand new one for everybody to see. This is a house down at Weddington Lane in Preston'sburg. Do you know where that is? Is that near the Allen red light in that area? Between there and Geniwile. It is in that area you turn right there at the Allen red light if you're coming from Parkville you're gonna turn right and then you go you pass the little town sign for Emma and take that bridge to the left and it's in that neighborhood over there. So if somebody likes to fish or boat or anything even like the recreation the Geniwile State Park offers you're very close coming from that end. Absolutely and you're actually right on the river so if you wanted access that way you also could probably pull that one off. And one thing we were talking about before this is only if you come from the 23 side it's only three miles off of US 23. Absolutely so you have very easy access depending on if you want to Preston'sburg Allen Parkville whichever area you want to up and down US 23 this listing has great access to it. Well the outside sounds great but the inside I'm seeing is very spacious. It is. This is a four bedroom house it's almost 2,000 square feet of living space and then you've got two bathrooms on the inside of the house. The really cool thing about this house if you have one of those husbands that likes to tinker in the garage or likes to go out and get muddy on the four-wheeler and all that kind of stuff you actually have a full bath in the garage that's separated from the house and that's also where the utility room is so it's very very convenient out in the garage. And I see that they've done a lot of updating. They have this one they have owned it since around 2009 and since that time they've just continuously updated it so it's got newer appliances that are stainless steel. You've got a newer hot water heater. They did a brand new septic system when they moved into the house new heat pump on the second floor and then they've updated the bathrooms with new flooring and fixtures and that kind of stuff. Well this one sounds like one to see if you're in Pike County you're for Floyd County this one's gonna meet your needs. Oh absolutely absolutely this is a great house and they've priced it very very well so hopefully we'll have some interest from it. Just under a hundred forty thousand dollars for everything we just talked about. That's correct it's listed at one thirty seven five and again that's a great price for the size of house and especially in that area. All right and if you want to give Jennifer a call on this one one zero five five eight eight is that MLS number they'll be able to pull it up real quickly and schedule that appointment. Absolutely. Now let's stay in Floyd County the next listing we're gonna talk about is in Fox Bottom. And that's in the Harrell area right off U.S. twenty three you can't get any closer without actually being in the middle of twenty three. Yeah and twenty almost twenty five hundred square feet so this is a large home. This is this is an older house the original parts an older house and then they've added on to it multiple times so it has a lot of the older house charm that we've talked about with other listings in the past and then they've done some additions to add on additional space. The really neat thing about this house is one of the additions I was telling you about is a two car garage and then on the top of that they did second floor master suite. It is a twenty eight by thirty space it's a master bedroom a full bath and a walk-in closet. So if you wanted a separated master suite very easy to do. If you also want a recreation area if you want to play room that's not in the main part of the house where you don't want to have everything cluttered it's also perfect for that. So I'm thinking sports fans you want to bring the friends over you can do indoor theater absolutely has so much twenty eight by thirty is huge. It's a massive room a lot of space that you could really make good use of. You've got the two car garage which is great for you know the bad weather it's nice to be able to come out in the winter time to be able to get right in your car and I'll have to scrape snow off your windshield. Absolutely and then this one has quite a few extras it has an attached shop building. Which has been an active shop in the past it's not currently but if somebody had an interest in doing some kind of store or something like that or they could just use it as a really large storage space that's also an option and then the really cool thing about this one I'm sure you're wasting on the pictures is the pool. Yeah we're gonna save the best for last on this one because it is summer time we're in the heat of the summer so those in-ground pools I would bet are attractive. Exactly it's got a really nice in-ground pool and then they've got a garden space with a picnic area and two fish ponds back there it's a really really neat backyard. I bet this is a good place to unwind after a stressful day. Absolutely, absolutely. They've taken some time into paying attention to not just where you sleep but where you live. Absolutely. Something worth definitely looking at. This one's at Fox Bottom at Harold like she said all that we just talked about for a hundred twenty five thousand dollars. That's great. Now this is your listing so they can give you a call. Absolutely you can call me in the Pikeville office at number 606-437-2333. All right Jennifer hopefully you'll get some calls on that one but if not let's move if you're more looking for something in the Pikeville area we've got that for you too. This one's on Derby Street. This is on Derby Street again another brand new listing so I'm glad that we got to do a couple new ones today but it's on Derby Street if you're not familiar with that that's right off Jefferson Street in downtown Pikeville up on the hill. Okay so that is just off the Boulevard so if you're coming into Pikeville and you want to just kind of get out of town a little bit but stay in town this is the house for you. Yes and the really neat thing about this house it is downtown you're in walking distance to U Pike into the downtown area but this house actually offers privacy. You have a lot of privacy that you would not imagine that you would get in downtown Pikeville. And a lot of people from Pikeville will understand they may not know Derby Street when you say it's off of Jefferson Street. Exactly. That is on the end of town near the McDonald's area not the way the Boulevard runs it's on one or the other but this is not far off of 23. Not at all not at all. So you've got everything that downtown has to offer which is great for our festival times. Exactly. As we grow we've got more festivals and more things to do you know bicycles are popular. I've seen bicycles coming in and out of that area so yep great for the active family. Exactly exactly and then like it has tons of space on the inside so not only do you have the privacy outside this is a four-bedroom house with about 1900 square feet it's got two full bags. The people who own it have actually done a fairly recent addition of a two-car garage with a master suite over top of it that includes a large bedroom honestly a master closet that's bigger than my own bedroom and the bathroom. Talk about this master closet. It is a nice master closet very large. And the outside of this house has a lot of decking. It has a lot of decking and then you have additional storage space because it's got an unfinished basement and under part of the house as well so if you needed the additional storage you've got that you've got the outdoor space with the decking so it's got everything that you'd need. You know and more and more times you see how much people are using that outdoor space it extends the square footage it's not counted but a lot of people spend just as much time in the evenings and the mornings outside as they do on the inside. Absolutely. And this one you're listing what if someone wanted to email you versus call you. Yeah they can give me a send me an email at jbrown at rbnw.com. Now this listing on Derby Street 169.9 so not a bad price. Not a bad price at all especially for downtown Parkville. One definitely to look at if you're interested in staying in downtown with a little bit of privacy. Absolutely. Now this one that we're going to talk about now has just been reduced and it's a knick-knick. This is a knick-knick which if you're not familiar one if you can't even say it which is a lot of people have that issue. Yeah this is one for everybody to remember the MLS number one if they want to call because they may not be able to say the name but it's actually in the Mullins area. Right. So if you're leaving Parkville north on 23 it's going to be on the right hand side of the road. Just as you get past the shopping and cold run. Correct. Correct. So it's on the right and this one is it's a great house. It sits on about an acre of property. You have a really nice size front yard and then you've got a fence backyard that's that's an incline it's a hill but they fenced it in and it's extremely usable for pets or anything like that that you'd want to have. And this one also has a wrap-around deck around three sides of the house and the whole back section is actually covered. They've got a mount to put a TV up there they've got ceiling fans so you have a really nice outdoor space like we were talking about with the last one. Out I mean is that something you see a lot more outdoor living spaces. Absolutely. And again like you said we can't add them in the square footage per se but people really really want an outdoor space to where they can have they feel like it's an additional room you know. Yeah and on the inside of the house you know you've got hardwood flooring a new kitchen they've updated their cabinets I think Mauser cabinets. Mauser cabinets and then it's got crown molding it's got newer bathrooms in it so they've really updated the house with with all the stuff that anybody you know you go into something this is a 1950s 60s built house so there's some things that you have to do but they went above and beyond especially with the kitchen and bathrooms. And this close to Pikeville saying there's an acre of property and this nice of a home for under $200,000 and that's going to raise some eyebrows. Exactly exactly and they again like we said this one was just reduced they reduced it down to 185. All right one worth looking at now we say it's in kinekinek so Jennifer mentioned when we started this listing remember this MLS number 105274 that's all you have to tell them when you call they'll pull it up they'll talk to you about it and hopefully schedule an appointment. Absolutely. Okay now let's end with our last listing one we've talked about before but this one is is worth talking about again this one's at Boulder's East. Yes and the reason I wanted to talk about this one so bad today is we're kind of on an outdoor space kick and this one has wonderful outdoor space so I wanted to make sure that we definitely hit it today. And this is one that we when we mentioned it before the location let's just say where Boulder's East is. Okay now Buckley Street most people are familiar with Buckleys Creek if you're leaving the Pikeville side and you're going up when you get to the top you've got the red lights which will right-handed will take you back into Pikeville via Town Mountain Road. If you look left at that red light up on the hill that's where this house is. Exactly. One thing that has blown my mind about these lots up there is they're a lot bigger than what you can see from the forelame. Absolutely I highly recommend you know we always tell people go drive by and we started the show out with telling people to go by neighborhoods. This neighborhood is so deceiving from them from the road. These lots are very good size and you would be shocked at how much space is behind some of the houses. You know this one has room for a huge backyard and summer so let's go ahead and say in ground pool. Exactly this one has a gorgeous in ground pool. It's got a very nice patio area and then you still have fenced in yard space past that so you have a lot more space than most people would ever imagine. And it's a relatively newer home. It's built in 2010. Yep. Built in 2010. Yeah yeah pretty much everything up there is going to be that or newer but like you said it has so many great amenities this is really one that people shouldn't pass up looking at. And with 2,500 square feet four bedrooms two and a half baths you can accommodate larger families. Exactly and to kind of pair with the outdoor space you have indoor space on the first floor that's extremely open. So you've got a family room with a fireplace open to your dining area open to your kitchen which all looks out on that gorgeous backyard. And open floor plans are always popular to be able to show. Exactly. But you've got the good neighborhood if you want to get out and you've got a bicycle or you've got the stroller whatever it is you've got to be able to be able to go up and down the road. Absolutely. It's great area. It is. This is one worth looking at also we've mentioned it before but Jennifer said today this is one definitely got to look at again. Absolutely. And all that with the in ground pool and the square footage and the four bedrooms for $279,000 at Boulder's East which right off Buckley's Creek. That's great. Which is technically not in the city. It's not in the city limits. It's close but it's not there. Well that's attractive for some people. Exactly. All right one more time let's instead of giving your email address to your phone let's give the whole website for the company because all of these listings and more are there. Absolutely. That website is www.rbnw.com and like Shannon said all of our listings are on there and you can also click on the EKAR link on that side which takes you to every listing in Eastern Kentucky by our local board. Which you can show. Absolutely. I'm sure you welcome those calls. Absolutely. All right Jennifer thanks for a second. I'm going to step out let you get settled because it's time for your real statement. Sounds good. Thank you. Are you ready to list your home? If so let's discuss what you should do before showing your property. First let's focus on curb appeal. Stand out from your house and make notes on items to improve. Don't focus on the big ticket items. Focus on small functional items in your yard and on the exterior of your house. Look for shrubbery, flowers, trim paint, cleaning the driveway and other items that can make a great first impression. Second on the interior of your home focus on the entry. You want the first impression to be the best impression. Remember to focus on more than looks. Remember the smells and sounds that welcome possible buyers into your home. Lastly, focus on clean, neat and open rooms. Hopefully these items will make your showing successful. Remember Red Brown and Williams real estate services is honored to assist you with all your real estate needs. Thank you for joining us for another show.
