Introducing a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a historically significant property in Lower Gwynedd! This circa 1790 fieldstone farmhouse, granted by William Penn to John Evans, is a testament to timeless charm and rich history. Situated on nearly 1 acre of land, the property has been fully renovated and updated by the current owner, ensuring a seamless blend of historic character and modern convenience. One of the standout features of this property is the secured integrity of the foundation that allows for storage use in the basement—an exceptional rarity in a home of this age. Imagine the possibilities of utilizing this space after 230 years, without the restrictions of the Historical Society or HOA. As you approach the restored home on a quiet, tree-lined street with no through traffic, you'll immediately appreciate Lower Gwynedd's dedication to preserving its wooded areas and scenic beauty. The home itself boasts over 3700 square feet of living space, with four unique bedrooms—two featuring decorative fireplaces—and 3.5 stylish bathrooms. A detached two-car garage adds convenience and functionality to the property. Step inside to discover the meticulously refinished hardwood flooring, custom built-ins, decorative hardware, and fresh paint in every room. The formal living and dining rooms exude elegance with deep windowsills, recessed lighting, and fireplaces, while the family room, with its fifth fireplace and original windows, offers a cozy retreat with views of the expansive rear yard. The creatively renovated kitchen seamlessly blends original exposed beams with modern amenities, including custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a new refrigerator and beverage/wine cooler. The second and third floors house the bedrooms, a bonus room, and a fully functional laundry room with ample storage and new washer/dryer. Outdoors, the charming patio and level rear yard beckon you to enjoy endless possibilities—whether it's adding an in-ground pool, a sport court, a swing-set, or all three, without the oversight of a Homeowner's Association. Nearby Centennial Park & Trail and other walking trails in Lower Gwynedd offer opportunities for outdoor recreation and community engagement. Convenience is key, with downtown Ambler's theater, restaurants, and boutique shopping just minutes away. Springhouse Village provides easy access to Whole Foods, CVS, Starbucks, and Giant, while major roadways like Route 309, the Turnpike, and Route 202 are within reach. Multiple commuter rail options ensure seamless travel for commuters. This remarkable property is a true gem, offering a unique blend of history, charm, modern amenities, and limitless potential. Don't miss your chance to experience the best of Lower Gwynedd living—schedule your tour today!
