25 S Spring Garden Street, Ambler
25 S Spring Garden Street, offers a boatload of living space, a charming front porch, nicely sized outdoor area, and is located just one block from downtown Ambler, the train and everything your heart desires, WOW! The home is unassuming from the street, as it appears to be your standard twin, but once inside, you will be amazed at the amount of living space.
Through the front door, you enter into what would have been a welcoming parlor when the home was originally built in 1920, but now it is more functional as a foyer, sitting room and catch all for our everyday items. Beyond the foyer, the first floor offers a huge living room, dining room, family/play room and kitchen. Be sure to take note of the fabulous pocket doors that separate the living and dining rooms. These doors are original to the home and are in perfect working condition. All rooms are large in scale offering a lot of options, high ceilings, and tons of beautiful natural light. After the pocket doors, my next favorite feature of the home is the rear staircase. Yes, this twin home is so spacious that it offers both a front and a rear staircase! The front, more formal staircase is seen in the foyer, while the rear staircase is accessed from the family room (or dining room, depending on how you choose to utilize the space). There is so much space on the first floor, that the kitchen could be combined with the adjacent room making for an incredible kitchen, while still leaving you with a huge living room, formal dining room, and front room!
Upstairs, you will find four large bedrooms (which could easily be turned back into five), one with a pass through, perfect for siblings or perhaps used as a bedroom with adjoining dressing room/closet. The master bedroom is located at the rear of the home and is very large. It offers a closet and the existing wardrobes will remain. The bathroom is also located upstairs and offers plenty of space, as well as the laundry. The second floor is so spacious that it could easily accommodate a master suite, another full bath, laundry room, you name it.
There is outdoor living space in both the front and rear of the home. The coveted front porch is a must, particularly when living so close to town! Out back, there is a patio off the kitchen, large mulched area with a stone path and naturalized area beyond the fencing.
As mentioned, this location is primo! Close to everything that Ambler has to offer including restaurants, shops, a theater AND playhouse, annual festivals, Saturday farmers’ market, coming soon Weaver’s Way grocery store, and more! The Ambler train station is just blocks away and all major routes of travel are a few minutes by car. Don’t forget about the excellent school district and low taxes!

The vestibule opens to a beautiful foyer with impressive staircase and views into the living room and kitchen.

Mary Ambler saved the lives of many during a great train wreck in 1856, traveling two miles from her home to the wreck to provide aide. She brought many of the injured to her home, which served as a temporary hospital. What remains of the parcel today is a beautiful property that provides a lovely natural buffer for 139 N Main. You will also enjoy the many perennials that surround the house such as wisteria, bee balm, sedum and more.
If you are one who wants to lessen your impact on the environment, you could easily live here and hardly ever need a car.

There is a hardware store, a fantastic grocery store that will open this summer, farmers’ market, tons of great eateries, including the best damn pub, Forest & Main, just a block away.

411 Haywood Road, Ambler
This coming August will mark 40 years that the owners of 411 Haywood Road have called this wonderful house their home. While they are sad to leave, the time has come for someone else to enjoy this very special little slice of heaven. You may feel apprehensive hearing that the home has been cared for by the same family for almost 40 years, thinking that they may not have made many changes over the years, but that is far from the case. 411 Haywood has not only been lovingly and meticulously maintained, but also thoughtfully updated. You will also be thrilled to see that the outdoor living space is just as fantastic as the indoor space, it is truly a private oasis.
If you are familiar with the homes in Haywood Park, then you will immediately recognize that this home is quite different from the other cape cod homes in the neighborhood. From the stone facade outside to the layout inside, this home is quite special. As you approach the home, you will notice the lovely trees and shrubs that provide privacy from the street. Once you pass through the natural screening, prepare to be amazed by the extensive perennial garden that awaits you on the other side. There a plethora of plantings, including phlox, iris, butterfly weed, lavender, bleeding heart, lily of the valley, bee balm, foxglove and so much more (plant list available). If you’re lucky, the peonies will be popping this weekend when you stop by. The retaining walls are constructed of locally quarried stone and are absolutely lovely.
Inside, you are welcomed into an open living room and dining room with hardwood flooring, gas fireplace with striking mantle, large bay window, and views into the kitchen and beyond to the rear deck. Through the dining room, you will find a nicely sized, eat-in kitchen offering plenty of cabinets, attractive Corian countertops, brand new stainless steel appliances, built-in breakfast nook, beautiful exposed brick wall, sliding glass door to the most amazing deck and a window over the sink. The layout of this home is ideal for entertaining, as the living room, dining room, kitchen, and outdoor space all flow together seamlessly. The natural light in this home is spectacular, pouring into each and every room, making it always feel like a sunny day.
The first floor also offers two nicely sized bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a den), beautifully updated bathroom with large linen closet, hall coat closet and access to the basement. This layout is extremely functional and ideal for those who may desire one floor living. Both bedrooms on the first floor feature brand new carpeting, but there is also hardwood flooring beneath, if that is your preference.
Heading upstairs to the second floor, you will see that new carpet was also installed on the stairs and on the second floor, but again, the original hardwood floors are below, if you choose to expose them. The second floor layout is very different from the other homes in the neighborhood, as it offers two spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom. Both bedrooms are roomy and incredibly bright, featuring skylights that enable wonderful air flow and the ability to view the stars from your bed at night (pinch me!). The master bedroom features custom cherry built-ins that are perfect for both storage and display, in addition to just being simply beautiful. You will also find a sizable walk-in closet, lovely views of the back yard and a hidden storage area, that can be accessed from a panel behind the bed. The secondary bedroom also offers nice closet space and lovely built-in shelving. The hall bath is very nicely updated, featuring a spa-like shower and beautiful tile work. A hall linen closet completes this floor.
Down below, you will be wowed by the basement. Not only is it huge, but it offers high ceilings and a full, at grade walk out to the rear of the home. The basement is currently used for storage, but could easily be finished, if one desires. If you were to finish the basement, you wouldn’t lack for storage space, as the attached garage is for one car width wise, but is about two car lengths, in terms of depth.
I hate to say that I was saving the best for last, as every aspect of this house is wonderful, but what you will find in the rear of the home will likely surprise you. From the street, you would never imagine the paradise that exists beyond. On my first visit, I was utterly astounded. After visiting many homes in the neighborhood, I expected what they typically offer, a nice, straightforward backyard, but that is not the case at 411. Once you step out of the kitchen, onto the deck, you’re done for. To find this setting, in this location, is not going to be possible again. The deck is huge, allowing room for dining and relaxing, but heck, all I can see is a party (hint, hint, Wissahickon fireworks party! Yes, of course, I’ll come ;)). The deck was thoughtfully built with wrap around bench seating and privacy panels, that not only offer screening, but also a buffer from the elements. The views are spectacular, as the rear of the property is also beautifully landscaped. There are stairs from the deck to the ground level, where you will find a large, wrap around driveway with access to the garage, and beautiful yard. There are specimen trees and plantings, a sweet little bridge, and adorable potting shed, which doubles as a playhouse (or at least it did for this family).
411 Haywood is in absolute move in condition. It has been wonderfully maintained and offers gas heat and central air, an oversized garage, tons of off-street parking, updated kitchen and bathrooms, new windows, hardwood flooring and so much more. If that isn’t enough, this home is located in a lovely neighborhood in Ambler Borough! That means that you are just blocks from all of the wonderful things that Ambler has to offer, including a true downtown, with fabulous restaurants, shops and services, soon to come cooperative grocery store, farmers’ market, annual festivals, easy access to the train station and so much more. Wissahickon School District is among the most sought after in the area, yet still offers incredibly reasonable taxes. There are several parks located a hop, skip and a jump away from 411; really you can’t get better than this.
Showings begin on Friday, May 19th, be sure to put this on your list to see, as this is one home that you do not want to miss. For more information, or a private showing, please contact me, Allison Wolf. 215-704-9888 | [email protected]

Upstairs, the second floor offers three very nicely sized bedrooms and full bath. There is ample closet space, particularly in the bedroom to the left of the stairs, be sure to take a look.
Much of the carpet was just replaced, and to the great surprise of the current owner, there is hardwood flooring beneath! The carpet was already in motion so too late to make a change, but for a future owner who loves hardwood floors, they already exist in the living room, going up the stairs, and throughout the second floor. Brand new carpet with the option of hardwood, it’s a win/win! You will also be pleased to see that the windows have been replaced.
Down below, the basement offers excellent storage space, as well as, a laundry area.
Outside is the piece de resistance! The house sits back from the road, allowing for a nicely sized front yard, but the real magic is out back. You will absolutely love the deck that spans the entire length of the house, providing room for grilling, eating, and lounging. There are beautifully established trees and perennials, including a bed of raspberry bushes that yield two harvests per season. If you are a fellow bird nerd, you will continue what the current owners have created, your own private bird sanctuary. I could sit here all day and there would never be a dull moment. If you enjoy gardening, you’ll be pleased to see the sizable shed to house your tools and equipment.
Wissahickon School District has become one of the most sought after in the region AND the taxes are incredible ($2,761/year!). The proximity to the train station and all major routes of transportation is a commuters dream. Action packed downtown Ambler is moments away; you could even walk there if you’d like. 421 Hoover Road is truly a great place to call home, come see for yourself!

Inside, you are welcomed into a foyer featuring hardwood flooring and a coat closet, with views into the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Off to the right, the formal living room is very nicely sized and offers a quiet space for reading and relaxing. To the left, you’ll find a nice dining room with convenient access to the kitchen, as well. Straight ahead, you’ll be pleased to find a huge eat-in kitchen which is open to the family room. Everyone knows that whether it’s just the members of the household, or you’re entertaining, this is the spot where everyone gathers.

You will also find two nicely sized additional bedrooms and a large, updated, hall bath on the second floor.
Down below in the basement, there is a ton of extra space. You will find one room that is mostly finished, with drywall and climate control, while the rest of the basement is unfinished, offering high ceilings and great storage space.
The outdoor space at 324 is just as wonderful as the inside space! At about a quarter of an acre, the lot is a perfect size, not too much to take care of, but enough space to offer privacy and a wonderful yard to enjoy. There is a sizable shed in the corner of the yard that is in excellent condition and offers plenty of space for a lawn mower, gardening tools and the like. However, if you have kids, good luck convincing them that this isn’t a perfect little playhouse and hideout. That said, you could easily be convinced, as the two car garage is oversized and affords space for two cars, as well as all of your lawn equipment, bikes and even lawn furniture during the offseason.
The cul-de-sac location is ideal as is the proximity to several local parks, the train, and all that downtown Ambler has to offer. You can walk, bike, skate, you name it, to fabulous restaurants, the Ambler Theater, shopping and services, awesome annual festivals, the farmers’ market and more! This home is what you’ve been waiting for, but I wouldn’t wait too long to see it!

The living room is also open to the second floor, separated by a perfect mid-century style railing. Both the living room and dining rooms, as well as the second floor offer hardwood flooring.
The kitchen was recently renovated and suits the style of the home very well. Tasteful choices were made, and quality materials were used during this renovation. Stainless steel appliances, lovely modern cabinets offering tons of storage space, Corian countertops with under mount sink, lovely subway tile backsplash and tile flooring, all of which are done in a very pleasing color palate. There is also a pantry and plenty of room for a small table, butcher block, bar cart, you name it.
Down a short flight of stairs, just off the dining room, is the family room. This is another bright and spacious room, also featuring a wall of windows, really connecting the outdoor living space. The family room provides access to the rear yard and patio, as well as the laundry room, powder room, storage area and garage.
Upstairs, you’ll find a bright and airy master bedroom with great closet space (be sure to turn on the closet lights, what a subtle, yet important detail!). Two additional bedrooms are nicely sized, also offering great light and ample closet space. The hall bath was recently renovated and is almost spa like, again, perfectly suiting the style of the home and featuring a linen closet.
The outdoor space is lovely, featuring large patio for dining and grilling, a fenced rear yard with raised beds for gardening and large storage shed. Last but not least, is the huge attached garage. This is not your average garage by any means, as it runs the entire length of the house, front to back, offering a surprising amount of space, electric and access to the rear yard, as well as into the house, through the laundry room. You can easily use your garage for parking AND storage/work space. If that isn’t enough, central air was installed in the home in April 2015, and the heater was replaced at that time, as well.
You may have noticed that I love this home, and I think that you will, too. Come see it this weekend, showings begin on Saturday, March 4th. For more information, or a private showing, please contact me, Allison Wolf. 215-704-9888 | [email protected]
