WELCOME HOME to 280 N Spring Garden Street, a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home in the heart of Ambler Borough, within the HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER WISSAHICKON SCHOOL DISTRICT - with reasonable, competitive school taxes as an added value! With charming curb appeal, modern updates, and a prime location, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Step inside from the front porch, where you can enjoy a morning coffee! The bright and inviting foyer welcomes you with gleaming luxury laminate hardwood floors that flow seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area. To your right, the spacious living room is a cozy retreat, featuring plush new carpeting, wood window shutters, and abundant natural light. The heart of the home is the remodeled kitchen (2014), which boasts cherry cabinets with pull-out drawers, granite countertops, a deep stainless steel sink, and all Samsung appliances, including a double oven and a Bosch dishwasher. A stylish crown molding detail and an open-concept flow into the dining room make this space perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The dining area features built-in shelving, an electric fireplace, recessed lighting, and a ceiling fan, adding both charm and functionality. Through French doors off the kitchen, step into the serene screened-in porch—a true highlight of this home! No detail has been overlooked including the durable Trex decking, beadboard ceilings, recessed lighting, two ceiling fans, roller shades, and screening under the deck to keep bugs out. The double-wide staircase with built-in uplighting leads to the private, fenced-in backyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. A convenient powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the three generously sized bedrooms each feature spacious closets and carpeting. The hall bathroom has been updated with a new vanity and has a tub/shower combo. The finished basement adds even more functionality, featuring a laundry area with Electrolux appliances, a wash tub, and a sump pump with a battery backup. Outside, you’ll find beautifully maintained flower beds, a mature flowering cherry tree, Pennsylvania Blue Stone pavers, a patio with wood burning chimney, and backyard lighting that can be adjusted to set the perfect ambiance. Plus, on the 4th of July, enjoy spectacular views of the fireworks from Wissahickon High School right from your own property! Enclosed within the fence is a detached 2-car garage with electricity, providing excellent storage space and even room for a hobby area. Note: garage is not connected to driveway at this time. A two-car driveway in the front ensures private parking! Additional updates include: New Anderson windows throughout for increased energy efficiency, new exterior lighting on the full home, new roof and gutters (2018) with a 50-year guarantee & leaf guard system, freshly painted exterior of home and garage (2018).

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
