Cindy Ridgway's Lower Merion and Narberth New Listing Tour: Week of October 1, 2018

Cindy started off October with a whirlwind tour of new listings all throughout Narberth and Lower Merion. Her husband was a bit slow, pulling the tour notes together this week, but the locals will certainly forgive him, as he was busy putting together their Narberth Oktoberfest! 

Cindy tours new listings in the Lower Merion School District every week.  If you want to make sure you don't miss any of her tours, follow her Facebook page, or use the form on this page to add your email address to her growing tour email list.  

Cindy's tour started in Bala, with this 2092 sq ft, 5 bed/2.0 bath twin, listed for $599K.  This century-old house has some classic features, like hardwood floors throughout and a huge wrap-around porch, together with some modern-looking renovations. The updated kitchen definitely has a modern look with pops of color and custom cabinetry.  The large, full basement has tons of possibility.  See more at: 138 Union Ave, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004.

You can't get much closer to the Bala Cynwyd Elementary and Middle schools than this stone and brick colonial in Bala's College Park neighborhood. It's a 1961 sq ft,  4 bed/2 bath, listed for $450K. It has a covered side porch, attached garage, and walk-up attic. The full basement has laundry and is plumbed for a half-bath.  It's listed as "awaiting your inspiration and updating", so the right buyer should probably be comfortable with a few projects. See for yourself at: 70 W. Princeton Rd, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004.

Narberth Borough homes always draw a good bit of interest, and any single-family home there under $500K will definitely draw a crowd.  So don't be the last one see this 1900 sq ft, 4 bed/2.2 bath, three story Colonial, listed for $420K. The private driveway and garage are prized features to have in this beloved little Borough. There's a covered porch out front and an second-floor enclosed sun porch off of the master bedroom. See for yourself at: 225 Hampden Ave, Narberth, PA 19072.

It's a 4 bed/3.1 bath, with 2877 sq ft of living space, on a .41 acre lot. It has a new roof, hot water heater, and windows, but if you're looking for some projects, the sellers indicate that it could benefit from some updating.  See more at: 511 Broad Acres Rd, Penn Valley, PA 19072.

Cindy's tour took her next to Wynnewood, where she saw this 3948 sq ft,  5 bed/4.1 bath, listed for $1.050M.

Also in Wynnewood, but closer to West Mill Creek Park, is this 5050 sq ft, 5 bed/4.1 bath stone colonial, listed for $1.025M. The 1.5 acre lot includes bluestone terraces, an outdoor fireplace, three-car garage, and a pool.

Some houses go quickly off the active showing list, and this Ardmore home, at 106 Linwood,  is one of them.  The 4534 sq ft,  6 bed 4.2 bath was listed for $549,900, but went under agreement quickly. If you're in the market for something similar, have Cindy set up a search for you, and get updates on new listings.
