616 Montgomery Road, Lower Gwynedd, PA 19002

616 Montgomery Road is straight out of a storybook, one of those homes that you dream about, and now, you have the rare opportunity to make that dream a reality. Set far off the road on one of Lower Gwynedd’s sweetest streets, you will fall in love with this stunning center hall Dutch Colonial situated on a lush, one acre lot. Flanked by side porches, the symmetry and curb appeal will have you swooning even before you step foot inside.
A brick lined, slate walkway leads you to a handsome front door, which boasts sidelights to the right and left, and a transom above. Small details provide a big impact; note the brick lined windowsills, brick trim at the columns, side porches, and chimneys, the lovely wooden shutters, some donning a crescent moon.
Step inside and continue to be impressed, as not only is the character of the home absolutely captivating, but the condition is impeccable. You are welcomed into a sun drenched foyer offering a view of the lovely turned staircase. To your right is a beautiful and spacious living room offering sight lines from the front yard to the rear, a gorgeous fireplace, and two sets of French doors leading out to a delightful sunroom. To the left of the foyer, you will find French doors that lead into the dining room (currently used a den). You will appreciate yet another set of French doors that open from the dining room onto the covered side porch; the perfect set up for entertaining. The kitchen is quite spacious, offering plentiful work and storage space, boasting soapstone countertops, custom shaker style cabinets with crown moulding, stainless steel appliances, farmhouse sink and prep sink, under cabinet lighting, bar seating and more. There is a bright breakfast room off of the kitchen offering views into the rear yard. The laundry is conveniently tucked away in this area, as well as, an out of the way powder room. The first floor features hardwood flooring and recessed lighting throughout.
Upstairs, the natural light continues to abound and shows off four nicely sized bedrooms and a modern, vintage style, bathroom. You will find designer touches throughout such as custom light fixtures and window treatments (including blackout shades in the bedrooms), and high end floor covering on the stairs, second floor hallway, and two of the bedrooms. These custom elements blend beautifully with the original character of the home shown in the the millwork, glass doorknobs, solid wood doors, and more.
The attic above and basement below offer a ton of easily accessible, additional storage space.
Outside, the grounds are perfection. The front and back yards are expansive and beautifully landscaped, showcasing carefree, blooming perennials and mature trees filled with melodic songbirds. If you have little ones, the backyard is already perfectly outfitted for adventure and nonstop play. The long driveway and turn around allow for plenty of parking and there is a detached, oversized two garage which allows for two cars, plus plenty of other toys. The second floor of the garage offers great storage or could potentially be finished for a home office away from home, gym, playhouse, you name it.
Additionally, this home offers two zones of air conditioning (both recently replaced) and favored hydronic heat (currently fueled by oil, but natural gas was recently brought to the house).
The location is superior; take a stroll down the quiet, tree lined street and cross Mt Pleasant Ave into Ambler Borough, also all three top-rated Wissahickon schools are essentially a stones throw away. Montgomery Road is located minutes from bustling downtown Ambler, Springhouse shopping centers, miles of coveted Wissahickon Trails, and major routes of transportation.
This is truly a magnificent home offering meticulously maintained character coupled with thoughtful upgrades and improvements. It is impossible not to envision yourself enjoying every inch of this house, inside and out, every season of the year. Do not miss the opportunity to make this stunning property your own.
