Cindy Ridgway's Lower Merion & Narberth "New Listing" Tour - Late February, 2018

In the second half of February, the Lower Merion/Narberth market seems to have a little less inventory than the same time last year, but there are certainly homes to be had.  A number of Penn  Valley homes were among the recently listed, including the first six listed here in Cindy's tour.  Check out these and a few others Cindy toured, and contact cindy@lowermerionhomes.com if you want to see something.

The Penn Valley market has quite a few new listings this month, and Cindy started off her tour with this Penn Valley 6 bed/5.2 bath beauty. The 3-story colonial has 5235 sq ft inside, and sits on almost 3/4 of an acre near Penn  Valley Elementary. For the $1.1M list price the home delivers a list of upgrades and features, including a two car garage with a  second floor just begging to be used for an office or studio.  See more at: 901 Summit Rd, Penn Valley, PA  19072

Seems like this is the week to look for a nice big home on Summit Ave, in Penn Valley.  Just a few doors away from the last one, is this 6486 sq ft  4 bed/5.1 bath stone colonial, listed for $1,199,500.  Outside on the acre+ property is a circular drive, back deck, flagstone path, and swimming pool. Inside, the updated kitchen has granite and stainless, a center island, and plenty of white cabinets, right next to a breakfast room that opens to the new back deck. The home has many built-in cabinets and shelves, and boasts a big feature-laden master suite. The big, finished lower level has a fitness area and a wet bar, and can be configured to add a fifth bedroom.  See the rest at:  830 Summit Rd, Penn Valley, PA 19072.

Not far from those first two, Cindy toured this 5 bed/3.2 bath stone home, listed for $1.2M. It has 5172 sq ft of living space on 1.210 landscaped acres with a three-car garage and a swimming pool, right around the corner from Welsh Vally Middle School.
