On the Road with #MARCUMsold: Tuscany

Your dream home is waiting for you in the Tuscany Subdivision of Richmond, KY!

On this week’s edition of “On the Road with #MARCUMsold”, we’ve got a quick tour of Tuscany Subdivision! This is a small neighborhood (just one street) with a lot of heart! Gorgeous custom homes, streetlights and sidewalks line the super family-friendly neighborhood street. Located just two miles from the Richmond Center, you are centrally located to everything living in Tuscany.

This is a newer, but well established neighborhood with home prices ranging from 250-500k. Since each home is custom built, Tuscany has a lot of character in just one street! Many of the homes have walk out basements and each sits on at least 1 acre of land. 

One of the most exciting things about this neighborhood is that there are still vacant lots available!  If you’re ready to build your dream home and would like a list of recommended builders, reach out to me at 859-353-2853 or Amanda@MARCUMsold.com. I have a feeling that these lots won’t last long! I expect them to be fully snatched up in the next 2-3 years.

Neighborhood Standout Features: 

  • Street lights and sidewalks
  • Gorgeous custom built homes
  • Incredibly family-friendly
  • 2 miles from the Richmond Center
  • Vacant lots available

Kelli’s 2 Cent Tuesday- Episode 25

Somethings to think about when considering a home purchase on or near a golf course: 

🏌🏼‍♀️Flying golf balls:

An airborne golf ball landing on you, your car or your home is a possibility. Your homeowner and auto insurance typically covers damage. Sometimes paying out of pocket can be less expensive than paying a deductible. As for your own personal protection to consider I guess you can check out where it is in relation to the course and maybe come up with the probability of it happening or wear a helmet ⛑ when hanging out outside. JK ☺️

🏌🏻‍♂️Noise:

Pay attention to the house location in relation to the course layout. Things can get noisy if the home is very close to the course. On a positive note, unless the course has lights, golfers can’t golf after dark. Therefore, you’ll be able to enjoy quiet evenings on your deck or patio.

🏌🏻‍♀Landscaping and Neighbor Property: 

⛳️Golf courses are known for their lush and well maintained greens. Also it’s common for golf communities to be regulated by a HOA. These restrictions are a blessing to some. Check out their rules and restrictions to see if they are doable or too stringent for your taste.

🏡Today's Random Real Estate 2️⃣cents Tuesday is about getting your landscaping in order. 

Fall 🍂is my favorite time of the year to take care of our landscaping needs. The big box stores discount their plants and materials to make room for the next seasons merchandise. Also some stores have a one-year warranty for their plants that are not annuals. 🌳🌿🌲If for some reason they don’t make it through the winter, come spring dig them up and take them back to the store to get your money back. FYI - Most annual plants are covered under normal return policies 30-90days. (Check your stores policy before purchase)
