107 Don Allen Road is a 1940s Two-Story Painted Brick Colonial located in the architect-planned and designed City of Richlawn and surrounded by all of your St Matthews favorites.  Richlawn is actually two years older than its St Matthews neighbor, and was incorporated in 1948.  Builder / Real Estate Professional, Emery Kinkead, designed and planned the little city.  Its unique design includes a circular layout comprised of Don Allen Road and Gibson Road forming the east / west perimeter and Blenhem Road to the north.  Additionally, Heady Avenue bisects the neighborhood, Ledyard Road is located at the furthest north, and Taggart Drive provides access from Hubbards Lane.  Hubbards Lane also has some homes that are part of Richlawn.

This two-story Brick Colonial has been recently renovated and modified.  It's rare to find such an open floor plan in the St Matthews area for under $300,000 with its St Matthews charm intact, but this Richlawn 2-story has it.  The current owner transformed this home from a rather closed off more traditional plan with tight rooms and dysfunctional flow into the kind of modern layout today's St Matthews home buyers covet.  

The formal living room features refinished hardwood floors, new tile fireplace surround, crown molding, and plenty of natural light.  The living room is also very spacious, and has even better access to both the superb kitchen and the large & light Family Room.  The Seller widened doorways between the kitchen and living room created an open concept.  Formerly, there was a small, colsed off hallway that accessed the basement and pantry.  This area has been opened up, creating more kitchen space and better access to the pantry and basement.

The Kitchen is a knockout.  There are new custom cabinets with "soft-close" drawers, granite countertops, beautiful tile backsplash, new stainless steel appliances, and genius use of space.  Prior to the Seller's renovation, the Kitchen was in disarray.  It was a tiny space, the appliances were positioned in very odd ways, and it was very dated.  The Seller closed the doorway between the Kitchen and the Family Room which created a great deal more of usable Kitchen space.  You will be very pleased with the snazzy tile floor as well.

The first floor family room is a St Matthews rarity.  Before the seller got ahold of it, it had dated wood pannel walls, worn carpeting, and a wall air conditioning unit.  Now it has new carpet, the wood pannel walls have been replaced by dryway, and the Seller had a central air unit installed.  The family room also features a gorgeous renovated half bath with artsy tile floor, vessel sink and updated vanity, new lighting, and stylish wallpaper.  The designer decor througout was professionally selected by Harriet Tretz and The Lee W. Robinson Co.  

Completing this St Matthews gem's first floor is a formal dining room with refinished hardwood floors and decorative moldings and updated lighting.  There is a breezeway between the updated Kitchen and the attached 1-car garage that functions as a great mudroom.  The front of the garage features newly replaced and painted wood siding and a charming garage door.

The second floor features 3 Bedrooms, all with refinished hardwood floors, and a delightfully updated full bath with lots of tile and style.  New vanity and marble dressing top complete the bath. 

The unfinished basement is great for storage, or finishing as the ceiling height relative to other St Matthews homes is above average.  The backyard is HUGE, and features a restored wooden deck and a charming brick patio.  

Richlawn is a fantastic neighborhood a couple of minutes from St Matthews dining, shopping, and entertainment, and this renovated beauty is ready to go!

Welcome to 307 Chelsea Green Court, a spectacular luxury townhome located in the heart of St Matthews.  It is rare that a St Matthews townhome of this age and stature comes on the market.  Simply put, St Matthews homes for sale typically consist of older, charming cape cods, ranches, and 2 Story Brick Colonials, but this spacious, architecturally pleasing St Matthews townhome features a number of delightful surprises.

First, this St Matthews townhome is large enough to properly entertain many guests.  It features around 3,600 square feet of finished above grade living space.  The welcoming foyer is flanked by a fabulous towering 2-story Great Room with built-in bookshelves, gas fireplace, sublime Brazillian Cherry floors, lots of natural light, and it adjoins the formal dining room in the turret - AND - the super-comfortable gourmet kitchen and open gathering room.  This kitchen is a cook's delight with custom maple cabinets, Corian countertops, and sizeable center island large enough for most meals.  This is a unique space when it comes to St Matthews homes for sale.  It is the hub of the home and one of the most comfortable living areas your will find.  The luxurious first floor master suite is privately positioned at the back of the home, and includes charming cove ceiling, spacious sleeping area, two walk-in closets, and a large master bath with double sinks, separate shower, and jetted tub.  Completing the first floor is the powder room, Florida Room with slate tile floor and lots of windows and doors leading to the charming brick patio in the privacy fenced backyard.  While this is a St Matthews townhome, its backyard can be customized to some degree by the owner in terms of landscaping.  The mudroom/laundry room leads to the attached 2 car garage.

Once they find out that I am a real estate agent specializing in St Matthews, the majority of folks I know always ask about the market.  Is it a Buyer's Market?  Is it a good time to invest in real estate?  Is it...dare I say...a Seller's Market?  Of course, there is not a one-size-fits-all answer to any of these questions, or at least, I refuse to give one.

Something that comes up in every home sale is the timing.  Is it a good time to put my house on the market?  Is it a good time to buy a home?  These are just personalized way of asking the aforementioned questions.  Most of the time, people looking to sell their homes are looking to time the market so that they can sell for the maximum amout of money during the peak of the market.

If you live in St Matthews (40207 zip code), it might be that time.  Now, is it the absolute peak of the market?  Who knows?  Is it the best time to list a home as a seller in years?  Yes.  It is. 

Here's why:  St Matthews homes are flying off of the shelf.  There aren't enough St Matthews homes listed to keep pace with the number of St Matthews home buyers.  Let me illustrate further by showing some St Matthews market statistics:

Current Inventory:  At the end of November, 2012, there were 116 homes for sale in St Matthews, at the end of December, 2012, there were 95 homes for sale in St Matthews, and today there are 84 homes for sale in St Matthews.  This is a dramatic reduction in inventory of St Matthews homes for sale.  In terms of breaking down the St Matthews homes for sale by price point, there is 1 for sale under $150,000, there are 8 St Matthews homes for sale for between $150,000 and $200,000, there are 16 St Matthews homes for sale between $200,001 & $250,000, there are 12 homes listed for $250,001-$300,000, 5 homes listed between $300,001 & $350,000, 4 homes for sale in St Matthews for between $350,001 & $400,000, 7 listed from $400,001-$450,000, 5 St Matthews homes for sale listed for between $450,001 & $500,000, 3 St Matthews homes for sale between 500,001 & $550,000, 2 listed for $550,001-$600,000, 5 homes for sale for $600,001-$650,000, 2 homes listed for between $650,001 & $700,000, 2 homes listed from $700,001 to $750,000, 2 St Matthews homes for sale for between $750,001 & $800,000, 3 homes listed for between $800,001 & $850,000, 2 homes listed for $850,001-$999,999, and 5 homes for sale for more than $1,000,000.  The High Active List Price remains a little more than $4.3 Million, and the median asking price of St Matthews homes for sale is $354,997.

PENDING Inventory:  I think it's extremely helpful to look at homes currently under contract, so when I prepare a Comparative Market Analysis for a St Matthews Home Seller, I always like to include as many similar pending sales in my report as I can.  Incredibly, there are 57 St Matthews homes currently under contract.  That means that these homes have a signed purchase agreement, and have yet to close.  This is a staggering number.  With only 84 homes for sale, and another 57 pending, St Matthews homes are selling fast and running out.

Breakdown of Pending St Matthews home sales:

3 with asking prices less than $150,000

9 with asking prices between $150,001-200,000

18 with asking prices between $200,001-$250,000

9 with asking prices between $250,001-$300,000

3 with asking prices between $300,001-$350,000

3 with asking prices between $350,001-$400,000

6 with asking prices between $400,001-$500,000

1 with a list price between $500,001 & $600,000

1 with a list price between $600,001 & $700,000

4 PENDING sales have asking prices of at least $1 Million

Here's what else is interesting about the St Matthews homes currently under contract:  Days on Market.  We use days on market (DOM) to describe the amount of time it took for a home to receive an acceptable sales contract.  Of the 57 Pending Home Sales in St Matthews, 23 of them sold in less than 10 days.  It's not uncommon for a St Matthews home listed for between $200,000 & $250,000 to sell within its first few days of marketing time.

Many home sellers look to hold out until spring to sell, but with the current shrinking inventory of homes for sale in St Matthews, I recommend listing your home now to avoid the competition that spring and summer invites.  The buyers are already out looking, so do the opposite of what the crowd is doing, and get ahead of the curve.

Sounds easy right?  Not easy, but possible with full marketing exposure.  The main thing is to see this as the first opportunity sellers have seen in quite sometime to have leverage and to potentially see some nice price gains.  Contact me to take advantage of the St Matthews housing market today.

Ahhh yes, Valentines Day is less than two day away, and if you're like many people, you've failed to make any plans.  Since you need to hurry at this point to have any shot at getting reservations somewhere, you need a one-stop shop for what is happening for Valentines Day in St Matthews.  I've got your one-stop shop:

Havana Rumba - Louisville's favorite Cuban restaurant has become a St Matthews staple, and for Valentine's Day they have an offer for you!  Get a free appetizer, salad, or dessert with the purchase of two entrees.  My wife would say get a Hemingway Daquiri as well!

211 Clover Lane - This quaint French Country dining experience is elegant, yet comfortable.  Great food, attentive service, and located in the Colony Center in St Matthews.

Del Frisco's - Excellent steak!  But seriously...GREAT STEAK.  USDA Prime corn-fed, aged steak without the tenderizers or chemicals.  Step back in time at Del Frisco's located on Oechsli Ave next to Havana Rumba in St Matthews.

Cafe Lou Lou - On St Matthews own restaurant row of greatness sits one of the area's most comfortable and affordable Louisville Originals, The Lou.  Pastas, calzones, excellent pizza, sandwiches such as the Smoked Pork Tenderloin sandwich, and a full bar give this place many options on Valentine's Day.

For dessert?  How about Graeter's on Willis Avenue or Homemade Ice Cream & Pie Kitchen or head to Clifton for Sweet Surrender on Frankfort Avenue or The Comfy Cow!

HURRY!
