201 CARPENTER LN Ambler, PA 19002

A house to love! Exceptionally maintained. Tastefully updated. This 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath colonial c.1966 is sited on nearly 3/4 of a beautifully landscaped acre with both open and wooded areas in the Maple Glen section of Upper Dublin Township. (Ambler P.O.Box) Just off Norristown Road, 201 Carpenter Lane is one of 8 custom built residences on a quiet cul-de-sac. The 2-story colonial with stone front and vinyl siding, attractive shutters and 2007 asphalt shingle roof is set back from the street. The center hall front entrance leads into a pretty entry with double closet and ceramic tile floor. Double doors lead to a large living room with decorative and very handsome fireplace mantel. The formal dining room with wall of sunlit bay window overlooking expansive lawns leads to a fantastic 3 year-old kitchen. This is not a sterile contemporary kitchen. Instead it is an open, inviting country kitchen with every gourmet feature one would want and designed to have the feeling of a weekend getaway at home: honed granite counters, custom-designed wall hutch with superior storage, 2 Bosch wall ovens, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, deep porcelain farmer's sink with garbage disposal, (all stainless steel appliances), abundant cabinetry including efficient under-counter corner shelving, pantry closet, mahogany floors. Step down 2 steps (with clever lighting!) to a large family room with decor that mimics the kitchen, gas fireplace with granite hearth, quite extraordinary paneling artistically treated with wallpaper and paint, another sunlit wall of window looking out to the rear patio and grounds, door to roofed brick patio. A powder room and door to the 2-car oversized garage round out the first floor. 2nd floor: A simply splendid master bedroom suite with excellent closets and singular master bath created in 2016 with tumbled marble, huge 0-entry shower, exquisite custom designed cabinetry, designer glass sink/vanity; 3 more large bedrooms (one now used as an office), each with large closets; new hall bath with chic sink cabinet, soaking tub, ceramic tile floor and tub surround, linen closet; huge hall storage closet boasts pull-down stairs to small floored attic. Basement: Almost full, unfinished for utilities, storage, work space and laundry with washer, dryer, utility sink. More features: almost all new energy efficient windows, oak flooring on first and second floors, 2009 HVAC (heat and central air), 200 AMP circuit breaker panel, steel I-beam construction, french drain in basement with sump pump with battery back-up, 2-car garage with electric opener. Here are some reasons why the owner has loved living at 201 Carpenter Lane: "So convenient to Rte 309 and the Turnpike"; "I love cooking in my new kitchen!"; "the serenity of the master suite"; "Large backyard where adults sit and chat on the back patio while grandchildren chase ground balls or fire flies"; "Great gathering place for any holiday"; "There is a sense of neighborhood." This house is a treat to show and see!
