The Hottest New Condo Trend is Making the Old New Again in the Narberth/Lower Merion Area

Condominium Conversion Project in Narberth, Pennsylvania

As can be seen, this local project includes a stone church, and the old parsonage. The entire development is now known as Narberth House and is located in Lower Merion School District in Narberth, Pennsylvania. Moreover, it is situated in one of the desirable neighborhoods on the historic Pennsylvania Main Line and is within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, train station, and parks of downtown Narberth. It also provides a very convenient commute to Center City Philadelphia. 

The Results …

The results are beautiful luxury condominiums set apart from the ordinary in the verifiably award-winning school district of Lower Merion. Additionally, the developer sought to preserve much of the architectural character of the former church and parsonage that cannot be found in new construction. This includes soaring 12-foot ceilings, oversized windows, original ornate wood banisters, and stunning ornamental fireplaces that make these condos undeniably breathtaking.

For the First Time in Years…

For the first time in years, one of these condos is available for purchase. And it is emphatically a very special one! When the owner, Dr. William Reinus was working on the design and finish of this condo in the old Barrie House Parsonage at Narberth Place, he walked into the adjoining church, also part of the renovation. He saw some beautiful church sanctuary lights sitting at the top of a pile at the construction site.

“Can we use one of these for the main lighting in my foyer?”, he asked the Narberth Place community developer who was rebuilding the former church and its adjacent rectory into a stunning, architecturally breathtaking 12-unit condo community. Indeed, Dr. Reinus got his lights in addition to countless other original architectural details that make this gorgeous condominium a rare-to-the-market property with grandeur and original allure coupled with luxurious, modern touches.
