In 1927 an exceptionally beautiful home was built on Tennis Avenue in Ambler. At that time there were only two houses on the block. With its stately pillars and three stories, it was a sight to be seen. Now almost 100 years later its character and details are still shining through. As you enter through the front door you step into a large bright living room with beautiful hardwood floors, parquet inlaid and wood burning fireplace with a large coffered mantel. This solid wood flooring goes through into the large dining room. Off the living room is a 13 windows sun-filled enclosed porch which can be used for an office, playroom or den. The kitchen has room for a breakfast corner, plenty of windows, skylight and a powder room conveniently located close by. Outside the kitchen door is a roomy deck for warm weather dinners and gatherings. A totally fenced in back yard creates a space that is great for kids and pets to play safely and securely. A two-car garage and backyard shed providing plenty of room for cars and tools.
Back inside and up the winding hardwood staircase to the second floor, are three spacious bedrooms, lots of windows and continuing original hardwood floors. The full tiled bathroom is unusually large and filled with natural light. On the third floor you'll discover a bonus room and a fourth bedroom with arched ceilings, window seats, plenty of storage and a lot of character. What a fun place to dream.
Let's not forget about the full-sized basement with over 6 foot headroom. Here you will find the laundry area, utility room and an abundance of storage space with a full door exit to the backyard.
The exterior and interior of the house has recently been painted and everything is sparkling clean. So, all you really have to do is unpack and start to plan your family Thanksgiving dinner in your new home.
The town of Ambler has everything you need...Ambler Theater, Act II Playhouse, Weavers Way Co-op, Wissahickon Valley Public Library, financial institutions, restaurants offering dishes from all parts of the world, regional rail and bus lines. Easy access to Philadelphia and Doylestown and yet far enough away to keep the feeling and character of a small downtown. This house is a treasure and has been enjoyed, loved and cared for for over 95 years by seven families. Will your family be number 8...that would be great!
