157 Edgewood Drive, Ambler
If you love nature and long for a private retreat to call home, yet still want to be within walking distance of a bustling downtown and the train to the city, look no further than 157 Edgewood Drive. This home is hands down, one of the most unique within Ambler Borough. Offering a peaceful, wooded setting, 157 sits on more than a half an acre of land, three times the average borough lot size. The property is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with absolutely no through traffic, next to 9 acres of natural preserved park land. The home was custom built in 1965 for the previous owner and boasts distinctive details with a nod to Swiss heritage. The woodwork is exquisite, from the hand carved mahogany doors to the elaborate tracery between the foyer and living room and the coffered ceiling in the breakfast room. In addition to custom woodwork, you will find intricately carved bronze and iron work and sculptural elements throughout.
As you approach 157, you know that you are in for a treat.

The breakfast room also transports you to another time; from the coffered ceiling, wood paneled walls, custom built-ins, and flooring, you are surrounded by rich wood. There is a curved built-in banquette for seating and even a secret access panel in the coffered ceiling.
On the other side of the kitchen you will delight in the huge laundry/mudroom. This room is also attached to the garage and is the perfect place to organize those items that never seem to have a home, like backpacks, cleaning supplies, etc. This room also offers a double sided ceramic utility sink, built-in shelving, and cabinetry.
Down a short flight of stairs you will find an enormous family room offering plenty of room for separate dining and lounging areas, if you so choose. The focal point of this room is the wood burning fireplace with incredible high relief sculptural detail surrounded by decorative half-timbered design. Other impressive details include the hand laid brick floor, beamed ceiling, beautiful wall of built-in cabinetry, arched opening with statue, and French doors leading to the patio and yard.
Off of the family room is the 4th bedroom, which would also make an ideal home office or playroom. On this level, you will also find access to the utility and storage room, as well as the all important wine cellar.
Upstairs, you will again be impressed by the master bedroom, which is grand in scale and boasts a vaulted ceiling. French doors open onto a private balcony overlooking the verdant grounds.

Two additional bedrooms, a beautifully updated hall bathroom, and dual linen closets complete this level.

This is truly an oasis.
The attached two car garage is another huge bonus and a rare find in Ambler. The driveway offers plenty of room for parking, as does the typically empty cul-de-sac. The cul-de-sac also offers entry into the park. Ambler Borough park is a mostly natural park that hugs Rose Valley Creek, but also offers a small playground area.

The exterior of this special piece was carefully restored while the interior was renovated by Superior Woodcraft (out of Doylestown) to now offer soft close drawers and improved organization; a beautiful walnut countertop completes the package.

Upstairs, the second floor offers two nicely sized bedrooms boasting all of the character that a cape style home affords. The hall bath has been nicely updated and offers a built-in storage area. There is ample closet space and additional storage in the eaves.
Outside there is plenty of yard to enjoy and raised beds ready for your vegetable garden. The most private section of the yard is fully fenced, great for little ones and four-legged friends. The garage is quite spacious and there is a shed for additional storage, as well.
Wissahickon Schools, within the boundaries of Lower Gwynedd Elementary, incredible taxes, and the proximity to the train and major routes of transportation make this a commuters dream. The wonderful restaurants, breweries, shops, and entertainment found in downtown Ambler are just a mile away. Ambler Yards featuring ‘Feine Coffee, a weekly farmers’ market, pop-up beer gardens, and more is just three blocks away. 400 Hoover Road is truly a great place to call home, come see for yourself!
