About This Home

As of August 2021

357 Fairview Avenue is a lovingly cared for, move in ready home, located on one of Ambler's most endearing streets. After 37 years, saying goodbye isn’t easy, but with change comes opportunity, and this is a rare opportunity that you don't want to miss. As you approach the home, you will immediately note the meticulously cared for exterior and grounds. A walkway leads you to the front steps, which are accented by lovely stone walls that tie into the character rich stone foundation, indicative of a 1920’s bungalow home. The enclosed front porch features attractive and maintenance free cedar shake style siding and a handsome front door. Inside, the porch offers hardwood flooring, abundant natural light from 6 windows, recessed lighting, & ceiling fan. This peaceful space is currently used as a reading room, but offers a multitude of possibilities for enjoyment. A French door leads into the foyer, where you will find a conveniently located coat closet. The foyer opens into a spacious living room offering oversized windows, high ceilings, recessed lighting, ceiling fan, large closet, and hardwood flooring under the carpet. To the right, you will find a bright and cheery dining room, also with impressively high ceilings, recessed lighting, and ceiling fan. On the other side of the dining room, you will find the kitchen which offers stainless steel appliances, plenty of storage space, and the ideal “working triangle” between the sink, refrigerator, and range. Through the kitchen you will be thrilled to see a first floor laundry room that offers access to the rear deck and yard. The first floor also offers the possibility of one floor living, as there is a bedroom and full bathroom on this level. Down the hall, off of the living room, you will find a bright bedroom, tasteful bathroom, and large cedar closet. Upstairs, the 2nd floor boasts great natural light and features 2-3 bedrooms, depending on how you use them. The first bedroom that you come to is very nicely sized and leads into another room with a built in bed. There is a large storage closet located off of this bedroom which backs up to the hall linen closet, allowing the possibility of creating separate access and making these two distinct rooms. At the end of the hall, you will find another nicely sized bedroom that offers two closets, one of which is a walk-in. All bedrooms on the 2nd floor have ceiling fans. A roomy half bath and hall linen closet round out the 2nd floor. Although there is currently no shower in the second floor bathroom, it is plumbed for it, making for a much easier install, should you desire. Down below, the full basement is unfinished and tidy, offering tons of storage space. You will be pleased to know that the house has been rewired, the windows are newer, the roof was replaced in 2013, the hot water heater in 2018, and the boiler has been regularly serviced. The home is currently using oil for fuel, however, there is already gas to the house, so should you want to convert down the road, it is easy to do so (same for the range). Outside, there is a large deck off of the house, ideal for grilling, dining, and lounging. The rear yard is fully fenced and the perfect size, offering plenty of room for play and gardening. The driveway offers parking for at least 3 cars and the detached garage has electric. Fairview Avenue is a sought after street in Ambler Borough, and for good reason. Not only is it aesthetically charming, but the neighbors are wonderful and everyone looks out for one another. 357 is walkable to everything that you love about Ambler, including several local parks, the newly renovated library, fabulous restaurants and breweries, a movie theater and a playhouse, great boutique shopping and personal services, awesome annual festivals, a seasonal famers' market, a fantastic grocery store, the train, and more! This home is located in Wissahickon School District, within the bounds of Lower Gwynedd Elementary.
