About This Home

As of July 2020

Rarely heard: That cute Cape Cod on the corner in Ambler is FOR SALE..! Stroll along the Flagstone Walkway and drink-in the array of specimen plantings dotting the property and gardens, then move across the large Covered Brick Patio and through the door, into a Light-Filled, Open Floor Plan home brimming with charm and character. Glowing Random-Width Plank Southern Yellow Pine Floors cover the entire first floor. The Kitchen features Sparkling Quartz Counters, Glass Tile Backsplash, and White Cabinetry. Built-in cabinets with a long Butcher Block Counter under a Wall of Windows beckons for baking and food prep. And, stunning, durable Adura Max Vinyl Plank Flooring completes the kitchen. The Living Room and Dining Area offer an Open-Concept design. And there is a Cozy Sitting Area tucked-into another Wall of Windows, making a lovely spot for reading and relaxing. The Custom-Designed and Renovated Full Bathroom has a Walk-In Shower accented with Mexican Tile and a Glass Block Wall. The first floor is completed by a large Bedroom with a full wall of Double Closets (locate your Master Bedroom here, or on the second floor the choice is yours), and a second Bedroom (currently used as an office). Climb the beautiful, open Wooden Staircase to the second floor, which features a Bright Bonus Room that could be your office, studio, or den. A third Bedroom (which could be your Master Bedroom, as well), and Custom-Built Half Bath, round out the second floor. New Two-Panel Interior Doors have been installed throughout the house, along with Energy-Efficient Vinyl Replacement Windows. Outdoor living space is abundant, with a Large (12 x 24 ) Covered Brick Patio overlooking a Garden Area. A Deck (11 x 11 ) provides for additional outdoor space, and access to a Large solid Garden/Storage Shed. The fully fenced-in side yard features the Showcase Rain Garden (see Green Remarks). Off-street parking for two cars. Enjoy Central A/C and an Efficient Tankless Water Heater & Water Softener System. The home is within walking distance (or a short drive) to the Ambler SEPTA Regional Rail Station and Buses, and all the Shopping, Dining, Theaters, and Parks that Ambler Borough has to offer. Top all of that off with being in the Award-Winning Wissahickon School District. This is the place to call home. Virtual Video Tours Only During the Governor s Mandated Stay at Home Order.
