This stately 6-Bedroom home in Ardmore is going up for public auction on Saturday November 6th.  The home fronts on Montgomery Avenue and is "catty-corner" to Suburban Square. The official address is 106 Edgewood Avenue, Armore, Pa. 19003. Previews are available to the public on Sunday Oct. 31 from 2-4pm and on Monday Nov. 1 from 2-4pm.
Expect the home to be in far less than ideal condition, so whatever the winning bid, buyers will likely need additional resources to bring the home back to glory.

Weathered Narberth Goddess Finds Suitor

The 3,000sf, 4-Bedroom single in Narberth drew large open house crowds in late August. Orginally listed at 499k, this weathered Goddess on quiet, tree-lined Anthwyn Rd., was reduced to 430k and Settled on September 30th for 425k.

436 Anthwyn Rd. 4 Beds, 3 Baths.  425k.

Browers typically commented the home would need 100-200k worth of rehab and restoration for prime habitability, and that figure is in line with quality homes on the street. With 3 baths, an in-law suite, gracious front porch and proximity to town, the value here should grow exponentially over time.
