Cindy Ridgway's Lower Merion and Narberth New Listing Tour: Week of September 24, 2018

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.

In Gladwyne,  Cindy toured this 2631 sq ft, 3 bed/3.1 bath cottage-style home, listed for $999K. The 1.19 acre, well manicured lot sits on a quiet cul-de-sac just down the street from  Gladwyne's quaint little downtown. There's a beautiful patio out back and an attached two-car garage.

Cindy's tour took her to Haverford, next, where she saw this grand Tudor in the neighborhood behind Merion Cricket Club. It's a 6 bed/6.2 bath, with 6637 sq ft of living space on four floors, sitting on almost an acre of land, with a list price of $2.1M.  The formal dining room and wood-paneled study look like classic old Main Line, but the kitchen definitely looks modern. The impressive game room looks like a classic "man-cave" from an era before the term was even invented.  See the rest at:  219 Grays Ln, Haverford, PA 19041.
