LOWER MERION HOUSE TOUR - WEEK OF MAY 15, 2017

There were tons of new listings on the tour this week, as sellers want their homes to hit the market before the Memorial Day weekend mass exodus for the Shore.  The race is on now for sellers still trying to catch the end of the Spring market, and for buyers looking for a summer closing and an easy school-year transition.  Here's eleven of the homes Cindy Ridgway toured this week throughout different towns and neighborhoods in the Lower Merion School District.  

Wynnewood usually has a few new listings, and this week was no exception.  The first home on Cindy's weekly tour was this 7 bed/5.2 bath 4763 sq ft estate manor home.  It's on 3/4 of an acre of beautiful outdoor spaces and a pool in a great neighborhood just across Montgomery Ave from Lower Merion High School. There's nothing not to like about this place, as long as you can handle the $1.25M price tag.  It costs nothing to look, and you do just that at:  432 Wister Rd, Wynnewood, PA  19096

Over by South Ardmore Park was another Wynnewood home, a 5 bed/3.1 bath with 2631 sq ft, listed at $925K.  It has lots of upgrades, a big finished basement and a pool. See all the details and the photo gallery at:  600 Argyle Circle, Wynnewood, PA  19096.

Practically across the street, is this 5 bed/4.2 bath center hall colonial with 4782 sq ft of living space on a 1/4 acre. Listed at $1.349M, it has a great kitchen, nice bedrooms and outdoor spaces, plus a killer basement with wine cellar, sound system, kitchenette, full bath, and more.  Check it out at 603 Argyle Circle, Wynnewood, PA 19096

Cindy also toured this 2880 sq ft, 5 bed/2.1 bath Tudor in Bala, in a quiet neighborhood near Cynwyd Elementary School.  This home has a beautiful brand new kitchen, equipped with two sinks and dishwashers and a large pantry.  The third floor is set up with a bedroom and an office. It's listed at $649K. See more at:  108 Penarth Rd, Bala Cynwyd, PA  19004

Next on Cindy's tour was this 3485 sq ft, 6 bed/3.1 bath home in the Ardmore neighborhood between Lower Merion High School and Suburban Square.  The kitchen has some upgrades, with an adjacent pantry and a nice big laundry/mud room.  See more at:  209 Kent Road, Ardmore, PA  19003.

Cindy saw this Penn Valley 4 bed/2.2 bath center hall colonial when it was a "coming soon" listing but it's since come on the market.  Listed at $650K, it has 2786 sq ft of living space and a three-car garage on almost half an acre.  The kitchen is big and new, and the basement is a big, finished empty canvas.  See for yourself at:  616 Broad Acres Rd, Penn Valley, PA  19072

'sThis home in Narberth Borough just hit the market, and Cindy just toured it today (Wednesday). It's a 6 bed/1.1 bath, with a front porch, back deck, driveway and two-car garage, listed at $675K.  You can't get much closer to St Margaret Church and School, which means Narberth's downtown is just a block away. The second-floor laundry is a nice feature, but the Narberth location will be the selling point that makes this one a popular visit for buyers this weekend. See the details and photos at:  214 N. Narberth Ave, Narberth, PA  19072.

This 3 bed/3.1 bath twin, priced at $385K, is the first of several new listings in Merion Station this week.  It's a 1870 sq ft colonial on a tree-lined street, not far from St. Joe's campus.  The kitchen has granite counters and stainless steel appliances. There's a full bath in the partially finished basement, giving you the flexibility to use that space in a number of ways.  Look inside at:  228 Edgehill Rd, Merion Station, PA  19066

---

If you're looking for a twin on Edgehill Road, you're in luck, as this one is just down the street from the last one.  It's larger than the other one, at 4 beds/3.1 baths, and 1969 sq ft, and priced a bit higher at $435K.  It has a driveway and garage, back patio, and central air.  The 4th floor bedroom has its own en suite bath, and the finished basement has an exercise room.  See the rest at:  217 Edgehill Road, Merion Station, PA  19066

Not all the Merion Station listings were in the same neighborhood!  This 6326 sq ft 5 bed/3.2 bath Tudor is not far from Merion Mercy Academy, and is listed at $1.05M. When you see the immaculate curb appeal, you'll understand why this classic Main Line home has been featured on the cover of Philadelphia Magazine.  With the third floor and finished basement, you'll have plenty of living space inside, with a 1/4 acre outside.  See the photo gallery at:  228 Derwen Road, Merion Station, PA 19066.  

---

This last Merion Station home is on Baird Road, close to the Merion Botanical Park.  It's a 2812 sq ft 4 bed/3.1 bath for $649,900.  Your kids would have an easy walk to the award winning Merion Elementary during the school year, and enjoy the backyard swimming pool in the summer.  See the pics and details at:  312 Baird Road, Merion Station, PA  19066
