About This Home
As of October 2024130 Tennis Avenue, a fabulous turn-of-the century Victorian-style home in Ambler Borough, exudes charm and craftsmanship and offers an amazing opportunity for the savvy homebuyer. Choose to keep the current duplex zoning in place and offset your mortgage with a tenant or easily restore the home to a 5 bedroom, 3 bath, single family dwelling. New owners have the option to choose the floorplan that best suits their needs without compromising the details that contribute to the home’s charm and character. Upon approaching, you are greeted by a cozy covered front porch that offers a welcoming entrance and is the perfect spot to relax after a long day. Inside, you will find a classic vestibule that provides the ideal location for hanging coats, storing shoes and backpacks, or dropping your keys and mail. Two easily removable walls in the foyer currently separate the dwellings. The first unit consists of the main level and finished basement. The main level features 3 nicely sized adjoining rooms that flow seamlessly together from the front to back of the house and boast high ceilings, tasteful original wood floors, and an abundance of natural light afforded by oversized windows and french doors. The living room features a wall-mounted bioethanol fireplace that burns clean and produces minimal mess. You will be pleasantly surprised to see the remodeled kitchen with white cabinetry, a double sink, glass tile backsplash, and a charming over-the-sink bay window, as well as an adjacent full bathroom. Both the kitchen and dining room provide access to a spacious back deck overlooking 2 large paver patios, established plantings, and a small ornamental pond. Downstairs, the finished walk-out basement, offers approximately 700 additional square feet of living space and features an eye-catching stone wall, a second bioethanol fireplace, a spacious full bathroom, and laundry area. Enter the second unit via the stunning wooden staircase off the foyer and you’ll quickly see that the original hardwood floors and abundant light continue throughout both the second and third floors. The second floor currently offers 2 nicely sized rooms separated by antique glass-panel doors, a large walk-in closet, spacious full bathroom with a stackable washer and dryer, and a tastefully renovated kitchen. The third floor features 2 additional rooms and a large storage closet. The second and third floors are heated by hydronic baseboard heaters which are more efficient than traditional electric baseboard heat since the hot water continues to emit heat long after the heater is turned off. There is plenty of room outside to enjoy the outdoors, gather around a firepit, and entertain friends and family. And, if you happen to be looking for a large workspace for hobbies, room to store tools and equipment, or another potential income stream, you will love the detached 2- car garage with a workshop area and overhead storage. Beyond the garage is Ambler Borough Park and access to a park trail that leads along the Rose Valley Creek and over a bridge into the dog friendly main park. In addition to the 2 garage bays, the driveway offers additional parking for 4 cars and room to turn your cars around before exiting. Other noteworthy features not to be overlooked include new windows and doors that come with a lifetime warranty, sewer lateral replacement, new chimney flue rated for a wood burning stove, and a seller provided 1-year home warranty. This terrific home is located in the award-winning Wissahickon School District, conveniently located nearby many major routes of transportation and the Regional Rail and just blocks from downtown Ambler and all that this great town has to offer: fabulous restaurants and breweries, great shops and boutiques, a movie theater, comedy theater, and playhouse, newly renovated library, seasonal farmers’ market, numerous festivals, and a co-op grocery store.
