About This Home

As of June 2021

Have you ever seen a perfect house? One where everything is lovingly maintained, numerous upgrades
throughout and beautifully landscaped? Well it does exist in Ambler, so come take a peek and fall in
love with 144 Forest Avenue where you will experience perfection from your first step up the stone path
to the front door. Enter into a spacious airy foyer/living room with gas fireplace, go through beveled
glass double doors into an intimate dining room, turn into an open kitchen/family room complete with
leathered marble counter tops, Pella windows and doors, breakfast alcove, and wood burning two story
stone fireplace. Step through the French doors to a stone patio overlooking a manicured lawn, beautiful
trees and shrubs and perennial gardens…a peaceful oasis! The first floor is home to three bedrooms with solid paneled doors, hardwood floors and two full baths. Retreat to the second floor and discover a tastefully designed bedroom suite enhanced with a custom closet and dressing room, a library overlooking the family room, a built in wine refrigerator and a spa like bathroom And if all of this was not enough, you will find easily accessible floored attic storage space right around the corner. Heading back downstairs to the lower level (too nice to be called a basement!) find a carpeted recreation room, yet another bedroom, a half bath, laundry closet and a door leading outside to a lower level patio. You are within walking distance to Downtown Ambler with its great theaters, restaurants, Weavers Way Food Co-op and train station.
This is truly a move-in ready home. There is nothing that must be done but relax and enjoy sharing this
comfortable treasure with your family and friends.
