About This Home

As of October 2023

Welcome to this tenderly cared for Stone Cape Cod located on a most wonderful and desirable street in the highly sought after Ambler Borough. As you approach the house notice the flagstone pavers leading to the front entrance. A small front stoop leads in the front door to the charming Living room complete with stone fireplace & hearth, bay window closets and beneath your feet the magnificent recently refinished original hard wood floors. To the Left of the Living Room is the Hallway to the Two Main Floor Bedrooms and One Full Bathroom. Both Bedrooms have great natural light and the refinished hard wood flooring continues into one and the other is carpeted. The Full Bathroom has oversized shower with seat and it is fully ceramic tiled through out. Note the doors on the main floor are the original doors to the home with the lovely original hardware. Also in this hallway there is the door to the basement which is finished and offers more of the large number of closets in this home, including a cedar closet for your seasonal storage. Ample storage throughout. The basement has a half bath and outside access through the garage which is on the lower level of the home. The Garage is oversized in length and offers a generous workspace and storage for all outdoor activity items in addition to the car. There is a garage door opener provided.
Back to the Main Level when you follow on from the Living Room into the Dining Room, which is generous in size and is attached to the large kitchen with an abundance of cabinetry and counter space. The kitchen offers a large peninsula of counter space and natural gas cooking. One of the accesses to the rear yard is from the kitchen leading to the back deck ample grassed back yard. Off the Dining Room is another door leading to the stairwell to the upper level and also another access door to the rear yard, which can be used as a separate entrance. This outside door and stairwell are noteworthy as they serve to denote this home as a Duplex. It is recorded with county and borough as a Duplex and the opportunity to use it as such remains though has not been used as one for some time. There are separate meters for utilities though only one is active presently. It would not take much modification to return the home to an entire single family home from current duplex layout. At the top of the stairs you will find considerable living space divided currently into an Eat in Kitchen, Large Living Room , Full Bathroom and One Bedroom. This Kitchen space also has Natural Gas Cooking. This house as a large quantity of closets 12 in total and several of them are in this upper space. This home as plenty of living space, great natural light and an abundance of charm. The Rear Yard is large in size with plenty of mature plantings and natural shade for your outdoor enjoyment and relaxation. Two large trees deemed unsafe were just removed near the property line on the right as you look out the yard.

Worth stating the obvious that this home is located in Ambler Borough convenient to excellent amenities, recreation & dining, and access to various commuting highways and of course the train. It could not be a more perfect place to call home. **Note: Seller would like it noted that the square footage per an appraisal report conducted several years ago has the house as 1847 sq ft.
