About This Home

As of September 2021

A complete renovation in the last 10 years in the heart of Maple Glen!! This home is a beautiful representation of the way today's homeowner lives. The house is light filled with gleaming surfaces everywhere you look. The oversized windows allow for maximum natural light, creating a feeling of spaciousness and warmth. There are large living spaces, a great room open to the dining and kitchen areas, a living room with an office/study/extra bedroom attached to it, a chef's kitchen with state of the art stainless steel appliances: a drawer microwave, a kitchen aid range with a stainless steel vent hood, a Bosch dishwasher, a pot filler over the range, upgraded cabinetry and fixtures, granite counters, both under cabinet lighting as well as over cabinet lighting, enhanced by lots of recessed fixtures throughout the first floor. Off the kitchen is a mudroom area with an extra large pantry cabinet, a large coat closet, a tiled floor to handle wet and dirty shoes and a half bath. A gracious stairway leads to the second floor with a large primary suite, walk in closet, reach in closet, en suite bath with double sinks, solid surface counters, an expanded walk in shower with frameless glass and stone tiling. The second and third bedroom are on this level and share a large hall bath. In addition, there is a dedicated laundry room with a Bosch washer and dryer. plenty of closets are found here as well. The third level is a spacious retreat with upgraded carpet, a walk in closet and it's own full bath. The basement is a real opportunity in this home. Extra high ceilings and a full walk out with french doors make this space feel bright and spacious. It is ready to be finished and enjoyed. The yard is full of mature, well planned landscaping. There is a large shed on the property for great storage. Located in an award winning school district, virtually next door to one of the highest rated elementary schools in the area, across the street from playing fields and with easy access to transport, downtown Ambler, the turnpike, and route 309, this home has so much to offer a lucky buyer.
