504 Trinity Place, Ambler
504 Trinity Place was built in 1910, and true to the era, it is a beautifully constructed, three story, Victorian stone home. The home boasts spectacular details, including a Victorian style turret, “gingerbread” roof cresting, two sets of gorgeous pocket doors, a beautiful turned staircase with original wood balusters and newel posts, original trim and molding including 5 inch baseboard, deep windowsills, hardwood floors, high ceilings, solid wood five panel doors, and more.
From the minute that you approach the home, you are sure to fall in love with the welcoming front porch. Inside, you are greeted by a beautiful front door complete with transom overhead and impressive foyer.
To your left, you will find the living room, which features pocket doors at each opening, as this room was originally used as a parlor. The room boasts several oversized windows with deep sills and hardwood flooring under the carpet.
Through the living room is the dining room with wainscoting and exposed hardwood flooring, which leads through to the kitchen.
The kitchen is bright and offers access to the back porch and rear yard, as well as the rear staircase and an additional interior room with large closet/pantry. The kitchen is fully functional, but if one were to renovate, the amount of space allows for many fantastic options.
Upstairs, on the second floor, you will find three bedrooms, however, there is a very large sitting room that could easily be configured into a fourth bedroom. The rooms are all very bright and offer a surprising amount of closet space for a home of this age. At the end of the hall, you will find a sizable full bathroom with charming built-ins, as well as, access to the rear stairs down to the kitchen and the staircase to the third floor.
The third floor is very special, boasting tons of light and heart warming spaces. There are two additional bedrooms, two sitting rooms, and a full bathroom on this floor. The bathroom on the third floor is functional, but needs to be renovated. With the amount of space in this home, the possibilities are endless. One could create a fantastic master suite and still have plenty of bedrooms, an office, a library, you name it.
Not only is a home this beautiful and historic hard to come by, but one that has central air and updated electric is almost impossible to find. The owners have lovingly taken great care to update and renovate many aspects of the home over the years, and while there is still some work left to do, it allows you to put your spin on the home and create your own special space.
Outside, the grounds are charming. The rear yard is fenced and private, yet a size that is easy to maintain.
The opportunity to purchase a home of this stature and quality, in sought after Upper Dublin School District, on an amazing street within walking distance to downtown Ambler, several parks, trails, and the train, does not come along very often. This is truly an incredible opportunity to own a very special home, yet be able to put your own personal stamp on it.

258 W Mount Pleasant Ave, Ambler
Situated on a lovely private lot, 258 W Mt Pleasant is an immaculate, turn key home. If you have a fondness for Mercer Hill Village homes, you are sure to love 258, as it offers the same original floor plan, but with so much more. This home boasts a great room, family room AND finished basement, in addition to the living room. The home has been updated throughout, has a fantastic flow and offers almost an acre of land.
The house is set back from the street with a large driveway, allowing for plenty of parking, and offers great curb appeal. You will be immediately drawn to the eye candy that is the front door; mid-century modern styling with a gorgeous pop of color!
Once inside, you are greeted by a charming foyer with coat closet and stunning statement light fixture. You will be wowed by the spacious living room to your right featuring a bright bank of windows and gorgeous fireplace with custom surround and mantel.

501 Montgomery Road, Ambler
Every now and then, a truly special property becomes available, however, to call 501 Montgomery Road special is an understatement, as this home is nothing short of extraordinary.
Likely you have passed this house over the years and watched the transformation with intense curiosity, as I have. Prior to the multi-year (re)construction, I hadn’t taken notice of the home, as it was a basic brick ranch, fairly standard for our area. In 2011 major changes commenced and I found myself going out of my way at times to drive by and check the progress. You can imagine my excitement when I was recently invited to visit.
When the current owners purchased this property it was a small ranch home with only two bedrooms and one bath, offering a little more than 1,000 square feet. Today, you will find 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2,236 square feet of exquisite living space housed in beautiful mid-century modern design. The work that has been done is far beyond a renovation, it truly is a work of art. The addition includes two bedroom suites, a large hallway, and foyer. A full basement was created under the addition and a roof deck was added above. As far as the original structure, very little of it remains, as essentially everything was replaced, including all drywall, trim, insulation, flooring, windows, roof, and all mechanicals. That said, there is one thing that was left as an homage to the original home, I’ll let you find out what it is. Not only has this home been rebuilt and built anew, but it was done using green infrastructure throughout, a rarity in and of itself.
True to mid-century modern design, the home features clean lines and geometric forms, which truly distinguish this home from all others in the area. The use of traditional and non-traditional materials both inside and out, as well as the form following function design, speak to the homes timeless and refined style.
Your first glimpse into the home is a spacious foyer with lovely windows and unique Sierra Stone flooring. Through the foyer is the heart of the home, one magnificent room that is open from the living room straight through to the kitchen, boasting soaring ceilings and clerestory windows. This space allows for several different configurations, however, currently the 6’x5’ island serves as a fantastic place for dining and the rest of the room is used as a living room and seating area. This setup is ideal for entertaining. The kitchen can easily accommodate more than one cook and several guests all at the same time. The counter space is expansive and the amount of storage seems endless. The stainless steel appliances are well laid out, creating a comfortable workflow. When I referred to this space as the heart of the home, it was not entirely figurative, as it is flanked by two sets of bedrooms on either side.
To your right, you’ll find a beautiful transition into the addition, a bright and spacious hallway that offers access to both the master suite and guest suite, as well as, exits to both the front and rear patios. You will again notice the Sierra Stone flooring in the hallway, which is carried out onto the front patio, creating a seamless sightline. The master suite is a peaceful place offering a Zen-like sitting room, well appointed bathroom and walk-in closet. Small, thoughtful details, like pocket doors in all the right places, add to the harmonic functionality of this home. Down the hall is a private guest suite complete with its own full bath.
On the opposite side of the house, you will find two nicely sized bedrooms and a full hall bath. Although these bedrooms are part of the original footprint, the roof was configured to allow for clerestory windows in both spaces, creating a beautiful environment bathed in natural light. The flooring in all four bedrooms is made of bamboo, making it not only beautiful, but durable and sustainable. All rooms have ceiling fans and there are custom shades on every window, even the clerestory windows above have custom, remotely operated shades.
Down below, the basement is vast. The first room houses the laundry area, an impressive mechanical setup, and storage space. Beyond that, you will find a finished room that was on it’s way to becoming a wine cellar, but now, that is up to you. Further down you will find the “new” basement which is a huge, wide open space that is ready to become whatever your heart desires. There is already egress in place, so the sky is the limit!
In terms of green infrastructure, many thoughtful systems were included in this home, offering you tangible benefits. All four bedrooms, as well as, the main living space have their own separate zones of both heating and cooling, allowing for maximum comfort. You will also be pleased to learn that much of the home offers radiant floor heating (everywhere there is tile or stone), which will become your new best friend in the winter. Closed cell foam insulation was used throughout and there is also an Energy Recovery Ventilator which improves indoor air quality and the efficiency of the heating and cooling systems. Only low or no VOC paint has been used in this home.
The roof is constructed of white/cool roofing material which reflects more sunlight and absorbs significantly less heat than a standard roof. The roof over the addition currently serves as a fantastic roof deck (which must be the absolute best place to view the Wissahickon Fireworks!), however, it was structurally engineered to sustain a green/living roof in the future, if one is so inclined.
In addition to the roof deck, there are both front and rear patios. The covered rear patio features a ceiling fan and offers access to the oversized two car garage. The garage offers enough room for two cars and plenty of toys. For those looking to take things to the next level in terms of solar power, the legwork has already been done for you. The garage was built in the proper position and with the proper roof pitch to accommodate solar panels, and the conduit has already been installed.
At just under an acre, the lot is absolutely beautiful and private. You will love the extensive native plantings, raised garden beds, and fenced in yard. Three dry wells and a rain garden were installed to mitigate stormwater runoff, contributing to the health of our Wissahickon Valley Watershed.
Located in Lower Gwynedd Township, just across the street from Ambler Borough, make this a walkable property for those who enjoy a nice stroll into town. Plenty of restaurants, pubs, and shopping await you, in addition to the theater, playhouse, fantastic annual festivals and seasonal farmers’ market. Don’t forget, there are also several lovely parks and access to the Green Ribbon Trail is just down the road. Served by one of the most sought after school districts in the area, Wissahickon High School, Middle School, and Lower Gwynedd Elementary all just around the corner. Last, but certainly not least, the taxes are phenomenal.
I know, you are asking yourself, why would someone invest so much time, love and money into this home and then leave? Well, the answer is, they never intended to leave. The owners did all of this for themselves, with the utmost care and respect for not only the home, but our environment; they spared absolutely no expense. Now, you have this incredibly rare opportunity to benefit from their efforts. In my career, I have never seen an opportunity to purchase a home such as this.
Showings begin Tuesday, May 29th. For more information, or a private showing, please contact me, Allison Wolf. 215-704-9888 | [email protected]

If you have been in other Capes in Haywood Park, you will likely be surprised by the layout of 226, as it is rather unique to the neighborhood. Once inside, you will be pleased to see the open concept that greets you. The wall that typically separates the kitchen and dining room has been opened up and there is a lovely bar connecting the two rooms. The eye is immediately drawn through the first floor into the living room at the far end (which is typically a bedroom in these homes). The space is vast, offering great connectivity, making it ideal for entertaining.
If you enjoy cooking, you will love the amount of counter space and gas cooking. The kitchen offers outdoor access to a covered patio, the perfect location for grilling and al fresco meals. Back inside, the dining room is very large, able to accommodate a sizable table, however, with the open concept, one could easily have a smaller dining area and a huge living room. If so desired, a third bedroom could be created in the living room space with the addition of some drywall and a door.
Down the hall off of the living room is a first floor bedroom, full bath, and large storage closet. Upstairs, the second floor offers a lovely bedroom with built-in storage and swoon worthy window seat, along with another full bath, tons of closet space (including cedar closet) and a bright sitting room. This sitting room is a fantastic space that could work as an office, library, playroom, studio space, you name it. There is hardwood flooring under the carpet in this area, similar to what is exposed in the bedroom down the hall.
The basement is unfinished but offers great work space, a laundry area and tons of storage. The ceilings are high and the basement was waterproofed years ago and comes with a transferable warranty.
Outside, the yard and patio are the perfect place to relax and enjoy a beautiful day. The perennials will bring you joy from Spring through Fall and the detached garage with electric offers a place to park or a fantastic workshop.
Some of my favorite things about this house include the abundance of natural light, the original random width hardwood flooring, the open kitchen, the charming patio with an arbor that will boast gorgeous clematis blooms all summer and the thoughtfully planted garden that will keep you in fresh cut flowers for most months on end. Also, you will enjoy the central air in the warmer months and the benefit of replacement windows in the winter months.
All of this in fantastic Ambler Borough and sought after Haywood Park! Excellent Wissahickon Schools, extremely reasonable taxes, as well as, walkability to downtown Ambler, several parks and more, make this a no-brainer. Come visit 226 Overlook today!

318 Bangor Lane, Gwynedd Hunt
Prepare to be wowed by 318 Bangor Lane, an absolutely stunning, turnkey home located in the lovely community of Gwynedd Hunt, offering carefree living. You will see that no expense was spared, as every single renovation and update was done out of love for the home with thoughtful consideration and refinement. Very rarely does a home like this become available.
From the moment that you approach the home, you will fall in love with the charming front courtyard that will become your own little English garden. Hand laid pavers lead the way to the front door and inside you will find a welcoming foyer where you will catch your first glimpse of the gorgeous random width hardwood flooring and beautiful wainscoting.
To your left is a sun-filled sitting room with a bay bump out that is highlighted by recessed lighting and custom window treatments, including hidden pull-down shades. The sitting room is adjacent to the kitchen, separated by a bar, the perfect place to engage guests while you revel in the custom kitchen and all that it has to offer.
This custom kitchen is just as beautiful as it is functional, offering a wonderful workflow. The cabinetry was handmade in Phoenixville by Dilworth Design and offers tons of space including a pantry with pull out drawers and hidden microwave area, lighted glass display cabinet, pull out spice shelves, lazy Susan, and hidden trash drawer. The chef in you will love the gas range with pop-up downdraft vent and the double wall oven offering both thermal and convection cooking. Other thoughtful details include the slightly elevated counter height that allows for more comfortable cooking and food prep, custom wrought iron and antique glass shelf over the range, Franke sink with suspended shelf grid, custom tumbled stone backsplash, Verde Butterfly granite countertops, under cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting.
Through the kitchen, you’ll find a bright dining room highlighted by French doors that open to the patio, a perfect location for grilling.
The dining room is open to the piece de la resistance of the home, a spectacular two-story great room. The focal point of this gathering space is the stone front gas fireplace with Kentucky bluestone mantle and hearth. The custom ceiling beams have a California feel and draw the eye up, beautifully connecting the mahogany stained stairs and flooring on both levels. The view of the stairwell is impressive as the new volute handrail, balusters and treads take center stage and beautifully showcase the wainscoting that leads to the second floor.
Upstairs, you will find a lovely master suite, which makes for a perfect retreat at the end of the day. The bedroom is spacious and bright offering important details such as recessed reading lights, double door entrance, custom walk-in closet organization, dressing area and spa-like ensuite bath. You will love the generous size of the master bathroom as well as the Arizona slate floor and design lighting. Gone is the old soaking tub that no one ever uses and in its place is now an oversized custom J.E. Roberts vanity and comfortable space ideal for pampering and readying yourself for the day.
The second bedroom is also spacious and offers its own private ensuite bath, perfect for hosting guests. A laundry area and linen closet round out the second floor.
318 Bangor features many small details that add up to mean a lot, such as high-end Cottage style windows on the first floor, six panel doors throughout, hand painted chandeliers in the foyer and kitchen, a fabulous custom built coat closet off the foyer, a neutral and very pleasing color palette throughout the house, custom window treatments, and so much more. There is also a large, unbelievably clean, basement with high ceilings offering great storage and an attached garage. Not only does the garage allow for parking and convenient inside access, but also offers great storage, as the old kitchen cabinets were relocated here when the kitchen was renovated.
Another ideal aspect of this home is the choice location within Gwynedd Hunt. If you thought the courtyard was charming, wait until you take a look out back. There is both a patio and garden area which are fenced on both sides to allow for optimum privacy, yet the back overlooks open space and trees. It is the perfect place to enjoy a book in the sun and dinners at dusk. The flow of this home, both inside and out, make it ideal for entertaining while also offering a very warm and comfortable feel.
Another wonderful benefit is the location of the home in general, just over a mile away from the entrance to route 309 makes this home convenient to almost everything.

Exciting Downtown Ambler is just a few minutes away by car offering a theater, playhouse, fabulous restaurants, farmers’ market, festivals and the train to center city (or Doylestown!).
