Laney Brooke Place is an up and coming neighborhood in a perfect location!

For today’s episode of “On the Road with #MARCUMsold” we are driving through Laney Brooke Place – an up and coming neighborhood that’s located less than a quarter mile from the interstate off of exit 87.

This neighborhood was originally developed in 2007 and is comprised of 50 lots total, about half of which are still vacant lots. This cute little neighborhood really hasn’t reached its full potential yet, but I think it’s absolutely worth checking out! The homes are all brick and the neighborhood is beautifully maintained. Plus, if you want to build your dream home, there are still some really nice lots still available! And you can’t beat its super convenient location!

The lots in Laney Brooke Place are mostly all ¼ acre, but there are some larger ones towards the front that are closer to ¾ acre. Street lights and sidewalks line the streets and this neighborhood has Kentucky utilities: Richmond City Water and Sewer, Spectrum Time Warner Internet, and AT&T phone lines. There is a 25 foot set back and a 1400 minimum square footage requirement.  

In the past three years, there have been 3 houses that have sold (all new construction) ranging in price from $190k (no basement) to $220k (with an unfinished basement).

If you are interested in seeing Laney Brook Place for yourself, I’d love to show it to you!  And of course if you are ready to sell in this neighborhood, I can help! Reach out to me at 859-353-2853 or Amanda@MARCUMsold.com! I can’t wait to work with you!

Build Your Dream Home in Richmond’s Newest Development, Dove’s Landing!

Right off 52 East, just 4.5 miles from the bypass, is Richmond’s newest neighborhood development, Dove’s Landing! With its super handy location, this is definitely a neighborhood to check out if you are interested in new construction or building your dream home.

The plat was just approved and signed in March of 2019 but construction on this neighborhood is already going in full force. The roads are only in for Phase 1, but additional development is planned for the future. There are 40 lots in Phase 1, all on about ¼ acre and most of the lots are flat which is really nice!

The craftsman-style homes look pretty similar to the homes in the super cute Double D neighborhood  if you are familiar with that one. The minimum square footage for a ranch style home is 1200 square feet, and for a story and a half and two story homes, the minimum square footage is 1400 square feet. There is city sewer in this neighborhood.

There are sidewalks and streetlights in Dove’s Landing which you know I love! The HOA fee is $175/year and there will be some green space built into the neighborhood which will be maintained by them. You are allowed to have any type of fencing except for chain link, and while you are allowed to have any type of pool you choose, you are required to have your above-ground pool approved first.

There are some beautiful new construction homes that were just built in Dove’s Landing that I’d love to show you! If you’d prefer to build your dream home here, I can connect you with some great builders too. Now is the time to get into this incredible new neighborhood before all of the lots are snatched up!

 The #MARCUMsold Show: Episode 21, Pressure Washing with James Brockman

We are here with another awesome episode of The #MARCUMsold Show! We are here with James Brockman, who owns Central Kentucky Pressure Washing. He is going to share with us things we have never even known about pressure washing. So our first question for James is what all can you pressure wash and clean on your home? You can clean stucco, vinyl, aluminum gutter, composite decking, wood decking and of course concrete. Secondly what are the benefits of having those parts of your home pressure washed? As far as concrete it keeps it clean but we also apply a sealant on it which gets down into the pores and keeps the water out. Our last question for James is how long will it last? Well that depends on a couple things such as the weather, how much rain we get, whether you house gets full sun or you have a lot of trees around you. Ready to have you home bright and shiny? James will come out and give you a free estimate at no obligation. To contact Central Kentucky Pressure Washing for your free estimate call 859-986-1235.

The #MARCUMsold Show: Episode 19, Getting your pool showing ready!

We are here with your next episode of The #MARCUMsold Show. Today we are helping sellers get their pool showing ready. We have our pool expert Cortney Farmer with us again today. Her family owns Aurora Pools and Spas, one of the most successful pool companies in central Kentucky. She has a couple tips for sellers with pools that can help the home selling process go as smooth as possible. 1. Have a disclosure about the pool with any new purchases and the age of items such as the liner, pump, filter etc. 2. Have the dimensions of your pool as well. 2. Make sure for showings the pool is ready and sparkling. If you don't have time for that consider hiring a pool company that can come out and do a routine weekly maintenance for you. If you have any more question about selling a home with a pool we would love to answer them for you!
