New Listings Worth a Look-Brookside and Leawood

Nov. 4, 2009

This is traditionally the time of year when the new listings start to slow down...as we get closer to the holidays, potential buyers focus on other more pressing matters and sellers often decide to 'wait until spring' to list the house.  In addition, homes don't show as well during the cold winter months.

During this past Tuesday's realtor tour, I saw three houses worth a look--if only I had buyers for them!  Still, want to share them in the blog in case YOU happen to know someone looking in the Brookside/Leawood area. 

Who wants a Leawood ranch style home?  This one offers an excellent location, just off State Line and 83rd St.  It features a brick exterior and new roof.  Inside, it offers a large kitchen/family room area, three bedrooms, two full baths and a main level laundry, plus a patio off the family room and a two car garage.  This home could use a little  updating but is perfectly liveable as is.  Priced at $329,500--this home will only grow in value as the years go by.

Across the state line on the Missouri side, popular Brookside always has a wide selection of homes for sale--at different price points with various floor plans and features.  Bungalows are popular in Armour Hills, and this one on E 70th St is larger than it looks from the outside.  Updated throughout, this 3 bedroom 2 full bath home has a two car garage and a large master suite on the second floor. The original trim woodwork is not painted and it can come across as a bit dark on the inside.  But for the price ($225,000) and location, it's a good buy.  In addition, I have friends on the block--friendly neighbors are included with the purchase!

                           Finally, another Brookside home on E 72cd Terrace.  This tudor style two story is two bedrooms, one and a half baths with a one car garage for $188,000.  There is a small office room on the first floor and a small eat in kitchen, with a deck in the backyard. Decor inside is shabby chic, and although you can't see it from the picture, the walkway up to the house is very attractive  work.  Walk to restaurants and other services on   Gregory from this home.                                                                       

(OK, my formatting on the blog isn't the best and I'll have to work on it.)  Please note, these homes are not my personal listings but I have toured them and feel they are nice properties to show.  If you are interested in looking at homes on line, email me what type of home you are looking for and I'll set you up!  Thanks for reading my blog; comments welcome.
