The Spring market gets all the press, but there's actually a good bit of action in the local Fall real estate market, too. If you're trying to keep track of home prices and inventory in and around the Lower Merion School District, you'll want to follow Cindy Ridgway's write-ups of her weekly new listing tours. She sees homes each week in Narberth, Lower Merion, and the surrounding areas, and compiles notes on some of them that look interesting to her or her clients. You can follow this series here, or on her Facebook page. First up on Cindy's tour was this 5186 sq ft, 5 bed/ 5.2 bath colonial in Bala, listed for $1.075M. The home sits on a half-acre lot, with a pool, just around the corner from the Bala Elementary and Middle Schools. The front door opens to a dramatic 3-story marble foyer.

Cindy Ridgway does a weekly tour of new real estate listings in and around the Lower Merion School District. Following her posted notes about the new listings on Facebook and her website is a great way to stay in touch with developments in the local market. Cindy's tour this week started in Villanova, and ended in Narberth Borough. One of the Narberth listings is new construction that just came on the market. Cindy's tour this week started with this 4735 sq ft 5 bed/3.1 bath in Villanova, not far from Harriton High School. Listed for $1.150M, it sits on .82 acres of land, and is far from the road, thanks to a long driveway. The updated kitchen has granite counters and high-end stainless appliances, with a center island and an eating area that leads to the slate patio. If you're looking for separate living quarters for in-laws, guests or an au pair, this one has a lower level bedroom suite that you may want to see. Check it out at: 1810 Gulph Road, Villanova, PA 19085. This 1840 sq ft, 4 bed/2.5 bath, listed for $450K, is in the Ardmore Park neighborhood, near Haverford College, and just blocks away from Ardmore's vibrant downtown. Outside, is has a nice covered front porch, back deck, driveway, and detached two-car garage. The remodeled kitchen has white shaker cabinets, granite and stainless, with an adjacent desk/computer nook. On the staircase to the second floor is a landing with built-in shelves and a window bench. The walk-up, floored attic is good for storage, while the partially finished basement has storage and a laundry area. See more at: 2948 Morris Rd, Ardmore, PA 19003. Next up on Cindy's tour was this 3034 sq ft, 4 bed/2.1 bath Tudor in Wynnewood, listed for $765K.

The newer kitchen has granite and stainless, and an eating area. See the rest at: 409 McClenaghan Mill Rd, Wynnewood, PA 19096. Just a few blocks away, on the north edge of Narberth Borough, is Hansen Court, a cul-de-sac street of homes that have a more modern look than much of Narberth. This 2188 sq ft, 3 bed/2.1 bath, listed for $530K, has a newer kitchen and master bath, plus a second floor laundry room with new stackable washer and dryer. The lower level is partially finished and includes a one-car garage and a wine cellar. See more details and all the photos at: 3 Hansen Ct, Narberth, PA 19072. You don't often see "Narberth" in the same sentence as "new construction", so if you're interested in a combination of the two, here's your chance. The first of the Price Crossing townhouses are now finished, and being shown at a September 16 open house. This new development is located at the corner of Conway and Price Avenues in Narberth Borough, just north of the Narbrook Park neighborhood. Each of the nine planned townhomes includes 3000 sq ft, an attached two-car garage, and a covered porch or large deck. An elevator option is offered. See the photos and more details at: 20 Price Ave, Narberth, PA 19072.
This week took Cindy outside of the borders of the Lower Merion to tour some nearby homes, close to, but not in the Lower Merion School District (but still in wonderful school districts). If you'd like to see any of the homes here, or if you have any questions about real estate in the area, contact cindy@lowermerionhomes.com. This Villanova home is about as far west as you can get and still be in the Lower Merion School District. If you're a shopper, that puts you between Suburban Square and the King of Prussia Mall! It's a 1728 sq ft, 3 bed/2 bath, on a third of an acre, listed for $610K after a recent price reduction. The newer kitchen has granite and stainless, with custom cabinetry. Upgrades include updated bathrooms on the second floor, including a big, nice master bath. See more at 809 Matsonford Rd, Villanova, PA 19085. Cindy toured three big Haverford homes, starting with this 6594 sq ft, 5 bed/5.2 bath, listed for $1.950M. It's located on almost an acre of land in the neighborhood behind the Merion Cricket Club. The impressive kitchen has a breakfast room, granite on the counters and the big center island, plus high end appliances, and a second Sub Zero fridge in the butler's pantry. The third floor has a bed and bath away from the other bedrooms, and the large finished basement has a big temp-controlled wine cellar. See the rest at: 225 Cheswold Ln, Haverford, PA 19041. You can't get much closer to the Merion Golf Club than this 5 bed/4.3 bath, with 6651 sq ft of living space, on more than an acre in the Merion Golf Manor neighborhood. The property is a relatively young (for this area) 19 years old, and has been completely renovated since, as well. The inside is just as impressive as the exterior, as you might expect from the $2.9M price tag. Highlights include a gorgeous kitchen, wine cellar, and home theater media room. See for yourself at: 50 Cambridge Rd, Haverford, PA 19041. It's hard to get closer to the Merion golf course than the last one, but it IS possible, as you can see from this next property's view! This 7986 sq ft, 8 bed/8.2 bath colonial estate home has a view of the club and almost an acre and a half of land in the exclusive Merion Golf Manor neighborhood. Listed for $2.75M, the home has impressive features throughout, from the large dining room, to the grand staircase, to the expansive dressing room in the master suite. A separate 2-bedroom cottage sits above the 4-car garage. See more details and all the photos at: 20 Golf House Rd, Haverford, PA 19041.
