Property Description
Welcome to 1185 Fort Washington Ave, Circa 1798; This incredibly charming Log and Stone 4 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath Home nestled on 1.7 stunning acres set in desirable Fort Washington is steeped in history yet meticulously maintained & thoughtfully upgraded with all of the conveniences for today's most discerning buyers. This special home's charm & character of yesteryear just can't be duplicated today: rich random width pine floors, wood beamed ceilings, gorgeous custom stone fireplaces complete with exquisite Moravian and Mercer tile work, extensive wood work/trim detail, endless built-ins, original latched doors & deep window sills are a few such examples. This property also boasts a charming garage apartment with separate entrance! The main home itself features an updated kitchen with breakfast bar, modern appliances and a separate Breakfast room. Through the Breakfast Room, you will find an oversized Butler's Pantry Room providing tons of additional storage, as well as a separate Mud Room. Walking south from the kitchen through arched doorway, you will come upon the lovely Dining Room with beamed ceilings and working wood fireplace, and just beyond that is a very spacious, warm and welcoming Living Room with a second massive custom built working wood fireplace. Finally, on the first floor you will find the most charming sunporch where you can easily wile away the hours in privacy and comfort. There are 2 sets of stairs leading to the 2nd floor, which features 3 bedrooms, plus an anteroom, and the first of 2 full gorgeous updated tile full baths. The 2nd floor full bath is stunning, complete with enclosed floor to ceiling tile shower and claw foot tub. The master bedroom has great closet space. On the 3rd floor you will find the 4th bedroom with another bath accessed through a foyer room with additional closets. This home has been meticulously updated and cared for over the years and it definitely shows. In general, it boasts tons of closets and storage spaces (which is not always easy to find in an old home), lots of windows and natural light, as well as updated electric, plumbing, updated mechanicals and more. Although this home does not currently have Central Air installed, most of the rooms were fitted with ductwork making it easy and much less expensive to finish the job. Outside you'll love the massive, park like 1.7 Acre partially fenced lot with an abundance of beautiful perennial beds and mature trees and plantings offers privacy and many possibilities (pool, tennis court, etc.); even possible subdivision, with quaint stone patio, a cute covered porch (perfect spot for porch swing), and electrical dog fence. The property also includes an oversized 3-car detached garage with BONUS approx 500' ft adorable apartment above it. Apartment is updated with one Bedroom, one Bath and large Living Room. Currently unoccupied, but could potentially rent for approx $900+ per month (need to consult township for approval) or used for guests, in-laws, visitors, or adult kids. You will also find a small attached barn which has so many possibilities including a great place to raise chickens perhaps? There is so much to love for the discerning buyers and a full list of features and upgrades available upon request. Home is situated in a very convenient location: minutes from both Ambler and Ft Washington Train Stations (30 mins to downtown Phila), major highways (PA Turnpike, Rt 309, Blue Route), and almost walking distance to adorable downtown Ambler Boro for great Dining and Entertainment. All this and Award Winning Upper Dublin Schools!
