You Buy Our Home And We'll Buy Yours

We are looking to buy a home in the 100 to 135k range.  If you live in Marshall County and are having trouble selling your home, maybe we can work out an "I'll buy your home and you buy mine" if you are obviously looking to upgrade from where you are.

This home spells small-town luxury.  A total, modern renovation.

Here's what's Brand New: Roof, siding, gutters, trim, windows, 2 1/2 car garage, master bedroom and bath, electrical, plumbing, heating & air system, sheetrock, trim, paint, beautiful stone fireplace w/ ventless gas logs, stainless steel appliances, hardwood throughout the house, bathrooms (jacuzzi tub in the master bath, large walk-in dual-head shower, marble tile), Thomasville kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, lighting & fans, new 50-gallon hot water heater, front load washer & dryer, 2 inch wood blinds throughout, vaulted ceiling in the great room, insulation throughout, concrete drive & sidewalk, 30x10 back deck, landscaping, 6-foot treated lumber privacy fence around a large back yard and all new interior & exterior doors. We didn't miss a thing. 

It's perfect for a local family, a vacation home or someone looking to retire in a beautiful small-town community.  Many of you may be looking to get away from a colder climate up north, some may want to get away from the wildfires and earthquakes of California, others may be wanting to get away from rising insurance costs in the Gulf Coast region due to hurricanes or some of you may simply want a little more laid-back lifestyle and a little more bang for your buck when buying a home.  Whatever the reason, we think west Kentucky may be just the place for you! 

The neighborhoood this home sits in is one of Benton's oldest and most popular.  It's quaint, quiet and the neighbors are great.  Other homes in the neighborhood are also undergoing minor to even major renovations.  So the neighborhood is on a new and fresh upswing.  And don't forget, it's just minutes from beautiful Kentucky Lake.

Benton is just 30 minutes south of Paducah, Kentucky where you'll find plenty of places to shop and eat.  Downtown Paducah is home to the Luther F. Carson Performing Arts Center that plays hosts to Broadway plays, all types of concerts and many other musicals for children. There is also the rapidly growing Lower Town Arts District that's home to many great artist from across the country.  If you stop in to visit be sure to drop by a few of the excellent galleries.

Benton is also just 20 minutes north of Murray, Kentucky where there is also a number of places to shop, dine and maybe catch a movie at Cheri Theatres.  Murray is the home of Murray State University, home to about 11,000 students during the school year.  So if you're a sports fan, there are plenty of opportunities to go see great NCAA Division I competition.

And finally, Benton is directly between two great metropolis'.  Nashville, Tennesse is just a 2 hour and 15 minute drive southeast, and St. Louis, Missouri is just 3 hours north.

Best Regards and best of luck in your search for the perfect home.  Of course, we think you just found it. ;)
