Property Description
209 E Welsh Rd, Ambler in the sought-after Upper Dublin School District. Behind a curtain of arborvitae and a private circular drive, this 7,200-square-foot home sits on .79 acres of southern-exposed, park-like grounds, with 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, 1 half bath, and a restored English carriage house a rare touch of character for the market. Originally built in the 1950s and completely rebuilt and expanded in 2005, the home was later elevated to todays standard by the current owner, with finishes selected with a designers eye. The two-story living room sets the tone: walls of glass, a window seat tucked into soaring windows, and custom crown molding and architectural millwork throughout. The main level flows easily between a fireside sitting room, separate formal dining room, den built for movie nights, and a chefs kitchen anchored by an oversized island, commercial-grade appliances, pantry, and a breakfast area warmed by a gas fireplace, one of several gas and wood-burning fireplaces throughout the home. French doors across the rear of the entire home open onto a bluestone patio and outdoor kitchen overlooking the lush lawn. An additional first-floor family room with adjacent full bath can function as a true in-law or guest suite. A mudroom and powder room off the driveway entry handle daily traffic. Upstairs, five bedrooms sit off a dramatic bridged hallway open to the entry below. The primary is a wing of its own: vaulted ceiling, window seat, fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa bath with soaking tub, double-sided fireplace, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and private water closet. The remaining bedrooms have ensuite or Jack-and-Jill baths. A back staircase keeps access between floors easy. The unfinished lower level adds flex space and storage. The grounds are the rare part. A restored English carriage house sits on the property and could be converted to an office, studio, or workshop. Adjacent to it, a working greenhouse handles year-round growing. The yard is private, level, and configured to drop in a pool. Minutes to Ambler borough, the SEPTA Lansdale/Doylestown line, the PA Turnpike, and the Blue Route. Move-in ready.
