About This Home

As of March 2025

Are you longing to live in Ambler, within walking distance of everything the borough has to offer, but aren’t able to find anything within your budget? If so, you may finally be in luck, as 39 N Spring Garden Street offers an amazing opportunity. This beautiful stone twin, located in the heart of downtown Ambler, offers more than 2,000 square feet, off street parking for two cars, and is price just under $300k. What’s the catch? Sweat equity and elbow grease. This house has great bones and has been well loved, but needs some work. Much of the updating is cosmetic (flooring, painting, etc.), as many of the big things have been done… the entire house has been rewired with knob and tube removed, there are ductless mini-splits throughout the house for air conditioning, the windows have been replaced, as have the front and rear doors. You are welcomed by a sweet front porch, a must for borough living! Inside, you step into a foyer with a coat closet. As you make your way through the home, you will notice lovely turn of the century details that speak to the era in which the home was built, such as: the transom over the front door, the original newel post on the staircase, deep windowsills and high ceilings. The first floor offers a living room, dining room, eat in kitchen, all with ceiling fans, and a laundry/mudroom. The kitchen has been recently refreshed and features gas cooking. The mudroom offers access to the rear yard and driveway parking for two cars. The second floor offers three bedrooms, all with ceiling fans, and a full bathroom. Up another flight of stairs, you will find a fantastic third floor that currently offers two rooms, and is great as is, but would be amazing if turned into large primary suite. There is a yard in the rear offering just the perfect amount of space; enough to enjoy, but not too much to take care of. Living here is a dream, as everything is close by! 39 N Spring Garden is just blocks from several parks and hiking trails, restaurants and breweries, shopping, a theater AND a playhouse, a fantastic grocery store, annual festivals, First Fridays, and more. This location is also a commuters dream, as the train station is also a few blocks away and will land you in Philadelphia in about forty minutes, and is close to most major routes of travel. Offering low taxes and sought after Wissahickon schools, this is an incredible value, one that is not to be missed. Come, live the good life in Ambler!
