About This Home

As of August 2021

This charming Evans-built home in a Cul-de-Sac location will delight and surprise you! The updated Kitchen with Hardwood flooring is large and opens to a "Great Room" addition with cathedral ceiling, recessed lighting, ceiling speakers, and Stone fireplace, and I emphasize "Great" with hardwood flooring and sun streaming in with a Southern exposure. There is also a sunny Family Room open to the Kitchen. The baths are beautifully updated. The lower level is even a bigger surprise! There is a real "Man Cave" a couple of steps from the finished Rec Room, a perfect, sizable room with Brick fireplace for musicians, TV fans, a game of pool or darts, or a quiet office. A Spiral staircase is another way to access this bright, unique room from the Great Room. The Deck is accessible from the Great Room and Kitchen, a perfect spot to relax, dine, entertain, enjoy the greenery, the wooded setting and Veterans Memorial Park with walking trail and playground, on the west side of the park. A short walk to Ft. Washington Swim and Tennis Club and Ft. Washington Elementary School adds to the desirability of this location not to mention closeness to the Ft. Washington train station, 309, and PA Turnpike, Ambler restaurants and Movie Theater, wonderful food shopping and Chestnut Hill. This beloved home has been cherished and beautifully updated and maintained by original owner.
