About This Home
As of November 2016Why rent when you can own? This updated and well maintained home is located in the heart of Ambler, boasting sought after Wissahickon Schools, low taxes and a great price, making it a smart investment, and the perfect time for you to start building equity. 144 S Spring Garden offers so many of the important amenities that you want in home; a beautiful, updated and open kitchen, a spacious, finished, walk out basement with powder room, off-street parking, central air, and replacement windows throughout. Approaching the home, you can tell that it has been well cared for. There is a sweet front patio, which provides a great place to sit and people watch, or chat with neighbors. Inside, the first floor has an open feel, as the living room, dining room and kitchen, all flow into one another. The high ceilings and new windows provide tons of natural light and very pleasing feeling. The kitchen is lovely, featuring tasteful cabinets (and plenty of them!), beautiful Corian counters, undermount sink, stainless steel gas stove, dishwasher & built in microwave, tiled backsplash, under cabinet lighting, and more. The dining room is nicely sized and can accommodate a larger table, hutch, and the like. The living room features crown molding and coat closet, also the original hardwood floors are hiding under the carpet, waiting to be revealed. The second floor offers three bedrooms, full bath & linen closet. The master bedroom is nicely sized and features two closets (one quite large). All three bedrooms have ceiling fans and hardwood flooring. The ceramic tile bath is original, but is in great shape, painted a nice, neutral color & features a cool, mid-century, skylight that brings in great natural light. The basement is fully finished, offering two main living areas; currently set up as an entertainment room and office/play area. The neutral color palette and natural light from both the front and rear of the basement, make for a nice, bright space. The washer and dryer is discreetly concealed on this level, as well as an updated powder room. In the rear of the basement, you will find a door to the covered, back patio and private, off-street parking for two cars. This outdoor area also has a gate and can be fully fenced in. The off-street parking is a huge bonus, as this fabulous home is located blocks from downtown Ambler's wonderful array of restaurants, bars, shops & services, farmers' market, library, theater, playhouse, and soon to be cooperative grocery store!
