Southern Charmer T

BY MOLLY HUDSON AND JODI KEEN MESSENGER-INQUIRER

ucked into a quiet corner of Pleasant View Estates is a sprawling manor filled with grace and charm. At 3110 Knob Court is an 8,046-square-foot home consisting of five bedrooms, six baths (four of them full baths) and plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining. Built in 1996, its traditional Williamsburg Colonial architecture gives the home a rustic yet modern feel right from the start. A graceful circular drive introduces visitors to this tree-laden property sitting in the Brookview area. A stately, window-lined brick exterior allows natural sunlight to flood the 11- and 9-foot-ceiling rooms throughout the house. Gorgeous antique pine hardwood floors lend a touch of old-home elegance. The living room features intricate crown moulding and chair railing, while the dining room exhibits traditional

formality in a comfortable setting. No detail was spared in the home’s design. The ornate light fixtures, tasteful color scheme and precision of the woodwork along the door frames, staircase and crown moulding capture a classic Colonial essence. The spacious kitchen includes warm cherry wood cabinets, bar and window seating and plenty of storage space, as well as modern amenities such as granite countertops, gas stove, travertine tile flooring and a subzero refrigerator. Scattered throughout the home are three gas fireplaces to keep the atmosphere warm and cozy. There are several places to lounge in the house, including the living room, family room and den. Four bedrooms can be found on the second level of the house. The stunning master bathroom is embellished with a walk-in shower, deep bathtub, vanity

station, marble flooring and built-in cabinetry. A fifth bedroom is positioned in the basement, as well as the home theater. The finished basement walks out onto a cheerful patio and sculpted yard. Prospective buyers can enjoy an in-ground heated pool, two utility rooms and four-car garage. Extra exterior features include a screened porch, gas grill, multi-tiered deck stretching from the house, fenced yard and pool deck. The 1.92-acre property stands in a gorgeous neighborhood located off Thruston Dermont Road in the Daviess County Public Schools district. It’s a short drive to Kentucky 54, Owensboro Health Regional Hospital and Reid’s Orchard. Although it’s near the city, the secluded nature of the area makes 3110 Knob Court stand out as a country gem. Steve Castlen, L. Steve Castlen Realtors

How to conserve energy throughout summer BY METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

Energy bills tend to be high in summer time, when many people crank up their air conditioners in an attempt to combat the heat. For some households, higher energy bills might be stretching their budgets, while others might be looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprints. Conserving energy can help homeowners save money and help the planet at the same time. And reducing energy consumption in the summer does not require people to sacrifice comfort in the name of conservation. In fact, various strategies can help homeowners and apartment dwellers reduce their summertime energy consumption. • Stop cooling an empty home: A cool home might be the ultimate necessity during summer heat waves, but there’s no reason to cool a residence when no one is home. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, operating thermostats more efficiently can help homeowners trim their

cooling costs by as much as 10 percent. One way to be more efficient with thermostats is to keep the house warmer than normal when no one is home. Programmable thermostats can be set so air conditioning units turn on shor tly before residents arrive home, ensuring the house is comfortable and no energy is wasted. • Narrow the gap between indoor and outdoor temperatures: The DOE notes that the smaller the difference between the temperature indoors and outside the lower cooling costs will be. While it may be tempting to set thermostats to room temperature (68 F) on days when temperatures reach 90 F or above, that’s an enormous temperature gap that will result in a high energy bill. Instead, the DOE recommends setting thermostats to 78 F whenever possible. • Open the windows at night: Daytime temperatures, particularly during the dog days of summer, may necessitate the use of air conditioners. But people who live in climates where temperatures drop considerably at

night can sleep with their windows open. This reduces energy consumption and saves money, and can be a great way to introduce fresh air into a home during a time of year when air can become stagnant. • Do not set air conditioner thermostats at lower than normal temperatures when turning them on: The DOE notes that setting thermostats at lower than normal temperatures when turning air conditioners on will not cool homes any faster than setting them at typical temperatures. Such a strategy will only lead to excessive energy consumption and higher energy bills. • Install ceiling fans: Ceiling fans can improve cooling efficiency in a home. According to the DOE, ceiling fans allow people who use air conditioners to raise the thermostats on their AC units about 4 F without adversely affecting comfort levels. People who live in temperate climates may find that ceiling fans are enough to keep rooms cool without the need for air conditioners.

5 tips for planning your next home improvement project BY BRANDPOINT

hether it’s transforming a fixer-upper into your dream home or just giving a makeover to your kitchen or bathroom, home improvement projects are on the minds of many new homeowners across the country. While many things about renovating your home are flexible, your budget might not be. In general, not a single floor board is laid, or a new countertop installed without money, which is why every home renovation project should begin with careful financial planning. To help homeowners with their renovation projects, Marcus by Goldman Sachs(R) is working with home renovation expert, JoJo Fletcher, to share her In general, not a budget-friendly single floor board home renovation tips. is laid, or a new “Think about small changes countertop installed without you can make if you don’t have money, which is the time to take why every home on a big project renovation project right now, like up should begin with freshening any kitchen careful financial by refinishing planning. your cabinets with a bright white coat of paint,” said JoJo Fletcher, ambassador for Marcus by Goldman Sachs(R). “When it comes to financing a larger project, however, I recommend homeowners explore all their options in order to get the most out of their budget.” There are several ways to finance these projects and it’s important to explore your options to find the one that’s right for you. Below are five important tips to keep in mind when deciding how to fund your next home project.

SHOP AROUND

The better you plan, the better chance you’ll save money. Before anything gets torn out or installed, you should spend time consulting with contractors and getting estimates. Look at the work they’ve done to see if they would be a good fit. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions to make sure you’re

working with the right people and paying the right price.

CONSIDER FINANCING OPTIONS

There are several options when financing a home improvement project and it is important to choose the right fit for you. Home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOC) require you to borrow against the value of your home, with home equity loans offering a lump sum while home equity lines of credit provide you with a credit line you can borrow against. An unsecured home improvement loan can be used based on your creditworthiness and ability to pay, not tied to a piece of collateral. JoJo Fletcher added, “I recommend homeowners consider a home improvement loan if they are looking to borrow money and have good credit. For instance, Marcus by Goldman Sachs offers no-fee, fixed rate home improvement loans up to $40,000, which could be a better option than putting renovation costs on a higher interest credit card, or borrowing against your home’s equity. Applying for a loan is easy

and you can see your offers in as little as five minutes.”

CREATE A BUDGET

Because of the nature of remodels, things often end up costing more than you might think. No matter how big or how small the project, you need to have a solid sense of what your “all in” budget number is. This should not only account for hard and soft costs for things like labor, materials and designers, it should also account for contingency costs. Experts typically recommend budgeting an additional 15 to 20 percent for unexpected scenarios that might arise. A thoughtful budget will help keep your priorities in front of you and prevent you from spending more than you want.

REMEMBER, THIS IS AN INVESTMENT!

Not all home renovations will pay off in the long term. It’s important to consider cost vs. value before you start making changes, especially for homeowners looking to sell in the near future. If you plan on putting your house on the market

sooner rather than later, be sure to keep track of the top home features to get the best return on your investment.

WORK WITH A DESIGNER

This might sound like a luxury or an added expense, but in many cases, a designer could actually help save money by finding deals or providing suggestions for less expensive alternatives, such as using quartz or white concrete instead of marble. Above all, their expertise can help avoid costly mistakes that can often arise when people try to cut corners on their own. With these tips, you should be better prepared to finance your home improvement project. When you’re ready to start, you shouldn’t have to wait weeks for a home appraisal to get your renovation project underway. You could see your home improvement loan options from Marcus by Goldman Sachs in as little as five minutes and once approved, most people see the funds in their bank accounts in as little as four days. With Marcus you could be one step closer to your dream home.

7 ways to use devices to boost your residence BY FAMILY FEATURES

Home technology devices have come a long way, and many homeowners are discovering that their features aren’t just for convenience and comfort. A growing number of technology-enabled home features promote a healthier living space for you and your family. From boosting indoor air quality to cutting back on dust, dirt and germs, these ideas are the perfect way to add functional upgrades that improve your quality of life.

Saturday, June 23, 2018 Messenger-Inquirer

IGH-TECH EALTHY OMES

MINIMIZE FLOOR DEBRIS

The floors in most homes are grounds for an unsettling array of dust, dirt and other unsavory elements, many of which are tracked in from outdoors. A robotic vacuum can help you keep these and other allergens like pet hair under control with next to no effort. Some models even know when they’re low on battery, return to their docking station to recharge then rely on memory to pick up just where they left off. Many are also self-emptying for a virtually hands-free cleanup job after the initial setup.

CREATE CLIMATE ZONES

A zoned approach to cooling and heating systems allows homeowners to cool and heat their homes in multiple zones, reducing energy consumption in spaces used infrequently. Today’s systems take climate management one step further. In addition to regulating the temperature, a system like Mitsubishi Electric Zoned Comfort Solutions offers advanced, multi-stage filtration that constantly cleans the air to capture and remove contaminants which may trigger allergy and asthma symptoms, spread germs and impact air quality. In addition, features like platinum deodorizing filters on select systems use nanotechnology to absorb and neutralize odors.

WASH AWAY GERMS

It’s only natural that a device you use to wash dirty hands is often one of the most bacteria-laden elements in a home. However, if you don’t have to touch a faucet, concerns about germs may diminish. Hands-free faucets are hardly new; they’ve been the norm in public restrooms for years.

This system easily slides between standard 16-inch joists.
