Description

Welcome to a Unique Opportunity! This Upper Dublin retreat presents a rare chance to own two complete residences in one extraordinary offering. Nestled on a private 1.2-acre setting within highly sought-after Upper Dublin Township and its award-winning school district, the property includes a charming 3-bedroom, 3-full bath, 2-story colonial residence paired with a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch guest house, ideal for extended family, in-laws, an au pair, or rental income. Blending character, comfort, and versatility, this serene retreat is truly one of a kind. Arrive through the front driveway, framed by mature Atlas cedars, cypress, dogwood, and crape myrtle, with firebush that glows brilliantly each autumn. A spacious two-car garage connects seamlessly to a radiant-heated workshop and a family room with built in cabinetry, while there is also an additional one car garage for added convenience. The main home showcases timeless craftsmanship enhanced by thoughtful updates, including a newer roof and a new HVAC system. At its heart, the kitchen features inlaid cherry cabinetry with inset doors, Corian countertops, a gas range, a double sink, and a beaded wood ceiling. Warm wooden ceilings and solid cinnamon maple floors extend throughout much of the main level, creating a rich, inviting atmosphere. Five Lazy Susan cabinets provide exceptional storage, while the adjoining dining and sitting area makes this kitchen the true hub of the home. The family room, warmed by radiant heat, flows seamlessly into the bright, skylit sunroom. From here, step outside to the expansive 75-foot EP Henry patio, half shaded by a 35-foot awning. This outdoor showpiece overlooks a tranquil two-level pond with a cascading waterfall and stream, attracting birds, frogs, and wildlife to the natural setting. A half-acre of mature woods insulates the property in privacy, while a ring of evergreens encloses the spacious yard, making it ideal for both entertaining and quiet reflection. Additional main-level highlights include a cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace and maple flooring, a den and a full bath and convenient laundry closet. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a versatile office/craft room share a full bath, while the spacious primary suite offers a private bath and an oversized dressing room with natural light. Attic storage spans the second floor, while additional storage is available over the double garage, in the basement, and within the outdoor sheds. Year-round comfort is assured with central air, gas-heated radiators and baseboards, radiant floors, and even a wood-fired outdoor boiler as an alternate heating source. Generous closet space and tilt-in replacement windows throughout the home bring ample natural light and views of the landscape indoors. The attached guest house/apartment offers independence and versatility with its own private paver patio near the pond. Inside, you’ll find three well-sized bedrooms, a full hall bath, a half bath in the primary bedroom, an open-concept kitchen and living area, and wood-grain vinyl flooring throughout the home. With its own washer/dryer and private entrance plus connecting entry via a buffer room, this apartment is ideal for extended family. In addition to public water and sewer, the property is equipped with a private well—perfect for car washing and landscaping—offering both convenience and cost savings. The location is equally appealing, just minutes from convenient local shopping centers, downtown Ambler’s shops, dining, movie theater, and playhouse, with Mondauk Park’s scenic walking trails nearby. Easy access to the PA Turnpike and train service into Center City ensures seamless commuting. With abundant parking, including space for an RV, this property is a rare opportunity for contractors, multi-generational households, or anyone seeking a private retreat with income potential.
