Property Description
***New Price*** This property is a sun-filled Victorian charmer, built 1889 with circa 1901 addition, located in the prestigious Upper Dublin School district. Walking distance to Germantown Academy and Doylestown/Center City R5 commuter rail. Close to Chestnut Hill and Ambler restaurants and theaters, PA Turnpike, Rte 309, and 476, state park lands and the Wissahickon trails. You will not find a more convenient location anywhere in Montgomery County: transportation options, schools, restaurants, library, country clubs and shopping. If fitness is your outlet, there is a nearby Planet Fitness as well as a recently completed Life Time Fitness/Spa Center.
Sited on a large lot in historic Fort Washington, the house is surrounded by a walkable area of restored Victorian homes. Entering the center hall home, to the right is a very large living room with a wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookcases, and French doors leading to a covered side porch, where you can sip morning coffee and enjoy bird song. To the left is a pocket door entry to a den or 1st floor suite with a full bath, a private side entrance, closets and a large, sunny room. Ideal for use as a private office, family room or in-law suite. Through the dining room, you enter a large eat-in kitchen, with windows on three sides and views to the patio, two-car garage and oversized backyard.
As you head upstairs, the large primary bedroom has an adjoining sun room for relaxing in after a long day. It overlooks the spacious backyard where you can keep an eye on family, friends and pets. Don't miss the convenient 2nd floor laundry . The hallway features a prism window that lets in light and preserves privacy. Two other bedrooms complete the 2nd floor, along with a full main bathroom. As a bonus, ½ of the third floor is heated and floored. It would make a perfect playroom or retreat. The other half, also floored, is currently used for storage. There is a full unfinished basement with walk out access to the backyard. If you are looking for storage space, there is no shortage of that in this vintage home.
This house is screaming for someone with imagination and TLC to restore its grandeur and become your dream home. The Seller will not make any repairs. House and property are being sold As-Is. The house was in the path of Hurricane Ida and resulting tornado. Five 100 year old trees were destroyed and some minor roof damage remains tarped due to the inability to contract a roofer to repair it with all surrounding neighborhood damage. Come and see for yourself, this is a great opportunity to make a house your special home. Professional photos will be added.
