Discover the timeless elegance of this exceptional Victorian residence in Ambler's prestigious Mattison Estates, one of 8 "Chessboard" homes built by Keasby & Mattison Co in 1894-6 for their company executives. Within a mile, you have walkable access to the popular Ambler Restaurant scene & Festivals, SEPTA, Upper Dublin HS, Fort Washington Elementary, numerous parks, and the Township buildings. Own the King's Bishop! This home offers approximately 5,159 square feet of historic charm that has been thoughtfully updated yet maintains much of the original details. The home features eight bedrooms, three full and one half bath, rich hardwood floors, intricate stained glass, two fireplaces, gracious formal living and dining spaces, and an expansive attic offering additional potential. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully improved by the current owners, the property seamlessly blends original architectural details with modern infrastructure and amenities. Improvements include refinished hardwood floors and restored woodwork; a high-efficiency Weil-McLain boiler and indirect-fired hot-water system; French drain and basement floor improvements; a 1,500-gallon rainwater harvesting system; 13 Mitsubishi heat pumps (each room can be individually controlled); electrical upgrades including a 100-amp subpanel and Level 2 EV charger; extensive restoration and weatherization of the original wood windows; and 2 updated baths with heated floors. Significant 2023-2024 improvements include exterior lead-paint removal by sandblasting followed by industrial epoxy coating, repointing of two stone chimneys, a new 30+ year main-house roof, copper gutters, flashing and aprons, restoration of the front porch flooring with Ipe, and restoration of several original radiators. The kitchen and laundry were remodeled in 2026. The 0.58-acre grounds are beautifully maintained and include an enclosed porch, mature landscaping, a charming carriage house with two-car capacity, and parking for numerous vehicles. A rare opportunity to own a substantial and historically significant Ambler residence where original craftsmanship, extensive preservation, and modern improvements come together in an exceptional setting.
