This is the one! The one with the creek. The one in that neighborhood—Mercer Hill Village, where homes rarely hit the market because no one wants to leave. Backing to Township-owned land that connects directly to the Wissahickon Waterfowl Preserve, this property gives you front-row access to Prophecy Creek—perfect for skipping rocks, catching minnows, or simply soaking up the sounds of nature. The home itself sits on a premier lot with a long driveway, an oversized two-car garage (with front and rear access), a spacious 18x20 flagstone patio out back, and flagstone detailing in the front with a walkway, an upper porch, and a lower porch—offering multiple spots to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Inside, there’s space for everyone—whether you’re hosting a holiday dinner or a casual game night. The split-level layout features a bright living room that flows into a dining area and a recently updated kitchen with new counters, cooktop, flooring, lighting, and paint. Just a half flight down, you’ll find one of the best spaces in the house—complete with wood beams, a brick fireplace with a wood stove, and enough space to turn into your dream hangout zone: playroom, game room, movie lounge—you name it. It’s way roomier than what you’d expect in a typical split-level. There’s even access to a second front patio right off the driveway and the private backyard. And don’t miss the dry, high-ceiling basement—prime for storage, a gym, or future expansion. Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms and a full bath. Hardwood floors are hiding under the carpet, just waiting to be rediscovered. All of this just a short walk to downtown Ambler and within the top-rated Wissahickon School District. Nature, neighborhood, and plenty of room to grow—this one checks all the boxes.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
