 On the Main Line, we sure do love our stone colonials. Historical, beautiful, traditional, well built.... a stone colonial tops many buyers' lists.  But this one in particular caught my eye because its full of possibilities in a rather cool location.  204 Meeting House Ln in Merion Station  Asking $800,000  It stands at 3500 sq ft and has 4 traditional bedrooms on the second floor, two full baths, and an additional 2 beds and a full bath on the 3rd floor.  The first floor features a coveted entry hall, formal living and dining with bowed picture windows, a large enclosed side porch, large kitchen and a rear space that would be a good converted family room, change back to a garage, or large mudroom!  The great thing about this house is it has a lot of space to work with, great bones and its across the street from the public elementary and middle schools, which means it is a great family space for years to come!  Incredible, large second bedroom wi...

Its been a very crazy 2021 so far. The market started as the craziest, busiest market we've seen in decades and has been a rollercoaster since. So the last thing on my mind (which has also been occupied with my own home renovations and two kids) has been writing new content, but its about time to pick back up with it!  For the rest of 2021, I will only be focusing on homes I consider to be good starter homes . These are homes priced under $500,000 (which I know is the top end of where many people are even looking at for second homes) and have aspects I personally think make for a good starter home.  What makes a good starter home, you ask?  1) "Good" or up-and-coming area  - If the idea is you are buying this home to have for the next 5-10 years (as in not the 'forever' home), then it needs to be something you feel comfortable selling in that shorter time frame and not losing money on. That means being relatively comfortable in the neighborhood, school district or...
