Property Description
Glen Mawr Drive is a hidden gem of a street that runs between Forest Ave & Valley Brook Rd, just 2 blocks from the now dog friendly Ambler Borough Park, and 4 blocks from downtown Ambler. True to the era in which it was built, the home is solid and well constructed, boasting beautiful details indicative of its time. The wood work (trim, baseboard, crown and frame molding, custom built-in's) is impeccable, solid 5 panel wood doors are present throughout the home, hardwood floors are also throughout the home (with the exception of the den). The hardwood floors in several rooms have been covered with carpet for 40+ years, the wood is dying to be exposed! Entering the home, you are welcomed into an enclosed front porch, through the front door you'll find a large living room with wood burning fireplace, turned staircase, and coat closet, sizable dining room with two corner built-in cabinets, cozy den with built in hutch, kitchen with access to the rear yard and adjoining breakfast room. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, one full bath, two linen closets and access through the third bedroom to a huge walk up attic that spans the entire house. The attic is unfinished and affords great storage, but also offers the possibility of wonderful finished space in the future. It could be a master suite, additional bedroom, office space, whatever your heart desires. The basement is neat and clean, and allows for outside access to the rear yard by way of an oversized stairwell and bilco door. The lot is just over 1/5 of an acre and boasts a lovely back yard, perfect for a garden, as well as space to entertain and play. There is a one car detached garage and long driveway for plenty of off street parking. This home has been extremely well maintained and is move in ready, but if you were to update the kitchen, expose the hardwood floors and add your personal touch with interior paint, this home would be amazing. Whether you want to move in and enjoy the home as it is, make improvements right away, or tackle one project at a time, this home is a great value and the neighborhood certainly justifies improvements. Another fabulous aspect of this home is its location within Ambler Borough and Wissahickon School District. The entire Borough of Ambler is less than one square mile, so you have easy access to Ambler's restaurants, theater & playhouse, unique small businesses & shops, as well as regional rail to the city, amazing street festivals and farmers' market. Don't miss this!
