Property Description
Homes like this rarely become available in Ambler. This beautiful Queen Anne Victorian home is one of Ambler's highly regarded Painted Ladies. The detail is impeccable, and unlike any modern construction that exists today. Not only has this home maintained its historic qualities, but aspects of the home have been thoughtfully renovated to meet our modern standards and please our aesthetic eye. It is quite possible that you will fall in love even before stepping foot into the house, as the exterior of the home is breathtaking, three stories tall and constructed of solid stone with lovely wood detail including scalloped shingles and gorgeous spindle work on the mahogany floored porch. Inside you enter into grand foyer with enfilade through to the custom kitchen in the rear of the home. Timeless details like the turned staircase and original stained glass window will charm you. Enough cannot be said about the woodwork in this home, it is extensive, yet not overbearing. Through the foyer you'll find a formal living room, dining room, family room with wood burning fireplace and a large bay window bump out with wrap-around window seat. The oversized windows bring in plentiful light, making this a very welcoming home. Through the dining room is a completely renovated, custom kitchen boasting lovely cabinetry offering TONS of storage, soapstone counters, deep undermount sink, all stainless steel appliances and two pantry areas. A cathedral ceiling and two sky lights bring in lots of beautiful, natural light. Adjoining the kitchen is a breakfast room with wrap-around casement windows. There are hardwood floors throughout the first floor and a powder room tucked away under the stairs. Upstairs, the second floor again features hardwood floors, tons of light, three bedrooms, two full baths and linen closet. The master bedroom has a wall of windows, its own full ensuite bath and a wall of closets. The second and third bedrooms are spacious w/ expanded closet space. The huge hall bath features a claw foot tub. The third floor presents two bedrooms and huge walk in closet. Although the larger of the two is a bedroom, it is currently being used as a lounge area and has one of the best vantage points in Ambler. Outside you'll find a fully fenced in rear yard with lots of room for play, as well as a spacious EP Henry paver patio. If this isn't enough, you are just blocks from the heart of downtown Ambler. This home is a rare opportunity that you don't want to slip away!
