Your private retreat just became more attainable! Motivated seller has done a price improvement for the next lucky owner.For the first time in almost 50 years, this historic home situated on 3.77 acres in award winning Upper Dublin School District is for sale. The setting and size are a rare combination and offer an incredible opportunity. New owners may choose from a wide range of options; current zoning allows for use as a primary residence, a church, day camp, swim club, community residential program, or school, and there's also the possibility a new buyer might explore subdivison with Upper Dublin Township. With ample space for materials and vehicles, it can be a dream for landscapers, roofers, contractors, plumbers, and farmers. Originally the home of two families that worked on a farm for the Mattison Estate, the property was transformed into one large estate with 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, laundry room, and charming side porch. Wide plank floors, deep window sills, and the stone fireplace carry on the character and rich history of the property. The expansive covered front porch is a must see, with soaring ceiling heights and hanging lanterns, giving a feeling of old-world charm and elegance. Additional structures on the property include the large shed with 60 amp electric service, as well as remains of the historic stone barn that burned down prior to 1978. Original barn doors remain and create a beautifully historic and unique backdrop.The open field behind the home was lovingly referred to as the meadow, where the owners had chickens, a goat, fruit trees, and an archery range. Don't miss the bridge to a clearing in the woods; a peaceful place for secret hideouts or outdoor exploration. The front yard was home to extensive vegetable gardens, and frequently used for family gatherings and badminton games. The Loch Alsh Reservoir just past the property line is stocked with trout each year and welcomes local friends to fish and enjoy the outdoors. As the late owner of the property would tell his children, "the land is a place for fun and for lessons", and the children and grandchildren grew up enjoying the fields, trees, and reservoir, as well as learning to plant and care for the grounds. While this private sanctuary feels like a world of its own, it remains in walking distance of neighborhoods, swim clubs, schools, and the shopping, dining, and entertainments of downtown Ambler and close to major roadways and Septa stations. This house is perfect for the adventurous visionary who can see the potential of updating this farmstead and is priced accordingly. While the home needs interior updates, the exceptional location, charming setting, and endless potential make this a rare find and offers the next steward an incredible opportunity to write the next chapter in its story.  Schedule your private showing today and experience the true feel of historical craftsmanship on this rare and remarkable property.
