 Hello everyone and welcome once again to the Red Brown and Williams real estate show. I'm Shannon Deskins along with Jennifer Brown Day and Jennifer we can say at this point we have gotten that first big snow behind us. We have we've gotten the first big snow I think everybody is feeling the winter is definitely set in now we've you know schools getting ready to be out for Christmas and everything has kind of changed over to that winter mindset. Yeah we've had those first snow days that the kids are home and you're getting ready to have a couple weeks of the kids at home so I think a lot of homes are going to feel a little bit tight plus you're going to invite all the family in for Christmas so it's a good time that I think people are starting to realize we might need a bigger house. We hope so this is a great time to list and that's what I'll talk about in the real estate minute today is if you're ready to list what you can look for and then if you're ready to buy we're going to show you some listings that that you can buy but first we want to mention on the 15th of December you guys have an auction that you want to mention. We do just a quick reminder we've talked about it before we have an auction it's an absolute auction at Long Fork of Verge December 15th viewing at 10 a.m. auction at 11 a.m. for more information just call our Pikeville office 437-2333. All right so let's start now with the first listing that we're going to talk about now this one is in a great location in Pikeville. It is this one is located right off the Cassidy Boulevard Thompson Road area it's technically in Quill Ridge but you're kind of on that lower level so you don't have to drive up the hill or anything like that the address is on Meadow View Lane. And I love this one because it's on the bottom and you can see that when you're driving up and down Thompson Road but it's got a great yard so you're getting the whole Quill Ridge atmosphere but you're not having to worry about going up and down that hill especially this time of year. Exactly this house sits on almost an acre so it's got a really nice size lot I think it's actually two lots that they bought together so you have a really nice size yard space. It's almost 2,500 square feet you've got four bedrooms two and a half bathrooms and then a three car garage. Yes and one of the coolest things again this is not counted in the square footage because of this ceiling height we couldn't but off one of those bedrooms upstairs and it's over top of the garage you have finished attic space that they have finished for a playroom it is a really really cool like hidden nook that you would never even know was there it could be like a sewing room or something like that but if you have kids it's going to be a great high hideout playroom area. Oh yeah I'm thinking Lena the fort so the hideouts and the playhouses and all that already built into this house and then this house was just built in 1994 so it's a newer house anyway they did go through with a couple updates in the last couple years including the kitchen you can see the kitchen gorgeous newer granite newer appliances on the outside we mentioned the yard it's got a really nice rear patio that's very private it'd be very easy if you wanted to do a screening porch or something like that at some time but you've kind of got that privacy in that great location that's super convenient. So this is one definitely people will want to look at. Yes we hope so and if they want to they can call the pocketville office that number 606-437-2333 and the price on this one priced well for everything you're getting in a location 389 so Jennifer that's your listing so give her a call at the Pikeville office if you want to look at that one. Now moving on to the next one this one is also in Pikeville downtown Pikeville and the price has just been reduced. Yes the price has just been reduced to 205 which is a great price in downtown Pikeville but this is in the Myra Barnes area which is a really popular area. Yeah you're just off of Hambly Boulevard but you're in the quiet area so this is one of those locations like you said it's kind of a hidden neighborhood if you've not driven through it you may not even realize it's there. Right exactly this is an older house which most in this area are this was built in 1950 has had quite a few updates over the years a really nice large kitchen. It's got a addition that was added on to the back which has cathedral ceilings and a big huge brick fireplace that is used as either a master suite because it has a nice bathroom or could be a huge family room if you don't need four bedrooms. And you've talked about the the updates that's been put into that you can see the picture of the kitchen so that's been updated you've got the hardwood flooring throughout and this one we've talked about before as far as being great for entertaining. It does have a bar a wet bar right off the side and then it's got a sunroom off the side so you really have plenty of room for guests or anything else if you are into entertaining and then like we said it's a four bedroom two bath if you wanted to use that fourth room as a bedroom or you could have a really nice size family room it's got a lot of potential no matter how you want to use it. Right this is one of those that it's as it is it's set up great but it's the way it's laid out you can still tweak it some to add some things or move things around to kind of make it your own. Absolutely and then the best thing about a downtown listing it has off-street parking. Yes especially in this neighborhood so that is going to be one that I think people will find attractive and the price again has been reduced so we're down to 205,000 and again for everything you're getting four bedrooms off-street parking in this area that is one if you're in the market and this is your price range you probably want to schedule a showing we hope so. So give Jennifer a call or email her of course your email is jbrown at rbnw.com so shoot her an email give the pipe full office a call if you're interested in this listing on Meyer Barnes. Now for the next listing let's go back down close to the area where we were before this listing is one we've talked about before but it's on Lykins Creek. It is this is at the very beginning of Lykins Creek so you're going to cross the railroad tracks this is going to be the first house that comes up on your right on Lykins Creek and the exciting thing about this one that I wanted to include it for it is now for sale or lease. Oh wow so you may not be in the market exactly to buy at this point but this one may have caught your eye but you just weren't ready to pull the trigger on purchasing it yet well now you can actually lease it. Exactly this is one that you can do either or of course it's up to the homeowners as to who they find as a tenant and that kind of stuff but this house has such great potential and like we said before in such a great area that is still kind of hidden and off the beaten path and the cool thing about this one typically a 1600 square foot house you have an eating kitchen you don't necessarily have a dining room but how this one is set up you actually have a dining room off of the kitchen it's not just an eating area so that tells you how big and spacious the rooms are they actually just open that dining room area into the living room so it's got a more kind of free flowing layout to it and then again you've got decent sized bedrooms you do have a master bedroom with a full bathroom attached which is a huge plus as well. So you're getting all these things and then you're looking back at the square footage and saying how are we getting all that so this one has been very thought out. It has been and then the outside of it sits on an acre and a half it has a wraparound deck which is really really nice and on the backside you actually have an above ground pool with a deck a play area a little area for a garden so you have all kinds of space that you just wouldn't realize that you had being right there off lock and screen and like we said on this one the cool thing about it is you may not be ready to purchase it yet but you may be in the market for a house to lease or rent you can do that so this one is out of your office so I'm sure you can coordinate this absolutely let's give that Pikeville office number that number 606-437-2333 179 is the price on that so a great price for everything that you're getting know that it's not a typo hopefully this one won't last long so give Jennifer a call. Now the next one is just on the south side of Pikeville get back up on 23 go just past the Shelby Inna area that exit and Collie Hills will be up on your right. That's correct so again another great location and this is another really nice ranch house so a three bedroom two bathroom ranch up at Collie Hills and this one is one that's kind of another hidden neighborhood that you don't realize is there unless you've driven up there and it's marked on the bottom is really not far outside the Pikeville city limits on the other side of what is known as Foggy Mountain on the right just over 1,300 square feet so this is going to be great for you know a couple maybe your first home or even a small like you're starting your family this will be perfect for you absolutely and this is one it has a very nice open layout so again great for small families small kids because your kitchen your dining your living room are all open and together so it's a really family friendly layout and it's a ranch so you've got all on one level and they have done some updates around 2010 they did a brand new kitchen new flooring and new crown molding did a new hot water heater so it's been maintained it's been very well kept up so hopefully it's one again you could kind of move in to make it your own but not have a whole lot of work to do and for the price 160,000 what you're getting all you know the property you're buying the home for 160,000 it's just outside of Pikeville and it's a family friendly neighborhood so this is going to be a great opportunity for somebody like we said either you're starting your family or you're kind of downsizing that's going to fit either one of you so give Jennifer a call but let's throw your email address out there one more time okay it's Jay Brown at rbnw.com all right now moving like we mentioned the new road if you get on the new road close to collie hills and you go up and you take the marabon exit this one is not there's only two miles from that exit correct so the great thing about that is now you're really 10 15 minutes from Pikeville at most because of that new road so this has turned into a super convenient great location right and you know normally you would say now this one is marabon up in marabon so many miles but you don't have to say that technically you're going to say elkhorn city or marabon because that's technically on a map where it's located but you're 15 minutes from Pikeville thanks to the new road exactly so it's really helped with this listing but this is one this house was built in 1969 they've done a couple additions and closed the garage added a garage but you've got almost 2,300 square feet and again it's another ranch house right three bedrooms two and a half bathrooms so you've got plenty of space on both of those and then it's it's a brick house it's a ranch house so this is one of those spacious houses that you can walk through you've got all that space yes and this is one like i said they enclosed a two car garage made it into a huge family room the house already has a formal living dining room and a den area so you've got a room for the kids you've got a man cave room you've got a formal living room you have all that space in this house already laid out and let's clarify you said that they enclosed the garage but after they did that they built another they built another garage yes so you still have an oversized attached garage but some of the space in the house was the old garage that they wanted to make living space out of so exactly um this is one of those and you know if they've enclosed a garage it's going to be a big room uh so that's one of those with this house it looks like the rooms are very spacious they are very spacious rooms you've got original hotwood flooring and a lot of the house original detailing with a fireplace in the living room and den it's brick very very pretty but then they've also you know obviously kept it up with enclosing that garage and doing some of those updates so like you said um it's two miles off of the new road so if you take the new road on the south end of Pikeville and you go take the maribond exit this one's just a couple of miles and i'm sure you have a sign in the yard absolutely there's a sign in the yard very easy to find and the address is huffman street it's a direct turn right off of maribond right and this is one of those especially this time of year as long as the weather is good and the roads are good you know when you've got the kids at home it may be a good time to say hey we're going to go get in the car i'm going to take a ride you can do those drive buys and one thing i want to say as we close the show is it may not be a red brunner william sign in the yard but they can still call your office and you can show that house absolutely we have access to every listing in eastern Kentucky on the computer system and actual access so if you see a listing
