Tour a $3.2M Home Owned by Albert Barnes

See the ornate detail Barnes had added to this Merion Station mansion.

A lot has changed in the Philadelphia area since 1951, when Albert Barnes died in a crash in the Phoenixville area. For connoisseurs of the arts, perhaps the biggest change was the recent move of the Barnes Foundation's art collection from Lower Merion Township to its new home in Philadelphia. Now comes another Barnes-related change: One of several homes he owned on Latch’s Lane in Merion Station is going on the market. The asking price: $3,295,000.   The home at 379 North Latch’s Lane has 7 bedrooms, 5 full baths and two powder rooms and 10,000 square feet of living space on the first and second floors, according to Realtor Beth Samberg with Prudential Fox & Roach. The property also comes with a carriage house at the back of the property…

Buyer Beware: Should a Home's Gory Past Be Disclosed?

A Delaware County woman filed a lawsuit when she found out her home was the site of a murder-suicide in 2006.

An ABC News report published Monday raises the question of whether home sellers should be legally required to disclose that a home was the scene of a bloody crime.  According to the article, Janet Milliken, 59, purchased a home in Thornton, near Chadds Ford in Delaware County, and later learned it was the scene of a grisly crime: She sued the seller and the real estate agent for fraud and misrepresentation, saying they made a "deliberate choice not to disclose the home's recent past," according to a court document.
