Cindy Ridgway's Lower Merion and Narberth "New Listing" Tour - Week of October 16, 2017

First up was this 2190 sq ft, 4 bed/1.25 bath Narberth twin, listed at $375K. The seller describes it as "priced to allow your personal touch", and it's certainly affordable by recent Narberth Borough standards. People are seeking out Narberth for its walkability and small-town charm, not for new construction and huge yards!   It has a porch, a patio and a garage outside, and the back yard is landscaped.  The inside layout leaves a number of options for changes and upgrades. See more at:  400 N. Essex Ave, Narberth, PA  19072.

Cindy's tour included a 5 bed/3.1 bath, "coming soon" listing in Merion Station, that will be priced at $697,500.  If that sounds like something you want to keep an eye out for, let Cindy know.  For that matter, if you want Cindy to find something just for you in the Lower Merion School District, contact her at [email protected].

The first of three new listings Cindy toured in Bala, is this 2391 sq ft,  5 bed/2.1 bath, on a third of an acre in Bala's College Park neighborhood.  This is an 1844 Colonial that has undergone extensive renovation over the years.  Located across the street from the award-winning Bala schools, this one has a good-sized backyard, and a two car garage, with a loft that might have some renovation potential. Updates like the newer kitchen, and  a dramatic sunroom, add modern touches in a home that still retains many vintage characteristics.  Someone will fall in love with this one.  It's listed at $644,900.  See the rest of the photos at:  507 Bryn Mawr, Ave, Bala Cynwyd, PA  19004.

Also in Bala is this dramatic 6 bed/5.1 bath, 7950 sq ft stone manor on an acre+ lot. This century-old home has plenty of vintage touches with its  exposed beams, stone walls and fireplaces, but includes updates like updated baths, and a big  beautiful  new kitchen with a huge island, granite counters, and sub-zero fridge. Listed at $1.895M, you can see all the details and more photos at:  307 Clywyd Rd, Bala Cynwyd, PA  19004.

,Right down the vowel-challenged road was this beautiful Normandy-style 5 bed/3.1 bath. With an asking price of $1.099M, this one has 3918 sq ft inside, on a .44 acre lot. This property is very effective at combining the charm of the beautiful old stone exterior with a completely modern-feeling interior. The place looks immaculate with renovated kitchen, baths, and bedrooms.  Check it out at:  116 Clywyd Rd, Bala Cynwyd, PA  19004.

Cindy continued with a few new listings in nearby Penn Valley, starting with this 4 bed/2.2 bath contemporary home on a quiet cul-de-sac. Listed at $875K, it has over 4000 sq ft inside, and sits on almost two acres of wooded lot, with a full-size lighted tennis court out back.  The kitchen could use some updating, but the whole interior feels bright and spacious, and the finished basement is massive.  See the rest at:  1352 Bobarn Drive, Penn Valley, PA  19072.

New construction is pretty rare in the Lower Merion School District, but this next Penn Valley home is so new that there's still time to add your own customizations.  It's a 5 bed/5.1 bath, listed for $1.795M.  The home has 6000 sq ft of living space, with an attached 3-car garage, on a one-acre lot. There's not a ton of pictures to see yet, but the home has all the amenities you'd expect from a new home in this price range.  See more at:  917 N. Woodbine Ave, Penn Valley, PA 19072.

This new listing is a 4 bed/3.1 bath, right around the corner from Rolling Hills Park in Penn Valley. Listed at $699,900, it has 2750 sq ft inside, on a .42 acre lot with an attached 2-car garage. It not only boasts that elusive first-floor master some buyers are seeking, but takes it a step further with two first-floor master suites.
