Cindy Ridgway's Lower Merion and Narberth New Listing Tour: Feb 25 - March 5, 2019

Every week, Cindy tours new listings in and around the Lower Merion School District. Here are some notes she collected from the past couple of weeks.  The homes she saw included properties in Wynnewood, Narberth, Merion Station, and a few other Lower Merion neighborhoods. The Spring market is getting underway, so some of these homes have already gotten offers, and at least one is under contract.

In the section of Ardmore by Suburban Square and Lower Merion High School, Cindy toured this 1648 sq ft 2 bed/1.1 bath.  This historical home is listed for $289,900, in as-is condition, so the right buyer would be one looking to put their own personal touches into the property.  See the details and more exterior photos at:  233 E. Montgomery Ave, Ardmore PA 19003.

Buyers often need to pick between two priorities - like choosing between new construction or the neighborhoods you really want, that are almost exclusively stocked with older homes. But if you have the budget for it, sometimes you can have the best of both worlds. Case in point is this new construction home, right around the corner from Gladwyne village. It's a 5 bed/5.1 bath stone colonial, listed for $1.725M. It has pretty much everything you'd expect at that price point, but you can see for yourself at:  417 Howard Rd, Gladwyne, PA 19035.
