Description

Wonderful opportunity to purchase a traditional 1570 sq ft Farmhouse in Blue Bell at a bargain basement price! This 1900 home has been in the same family for decades and sits on a huge flat 10,000 sq ft fenced-in lot. Walk into a large living room, formal dining room, a sitting room, and a large eat-in kitchen. A large laundry/storage room is adjacent to the kitchen. Step out from the kitchen into a large screened porch. Upstairs are 4 small bedrooms which would serve better as 3 larger bedrooms and a bath. The basement is a clean, “cellar” that has been waterproofed, with an oil heater, oil tank, electric water heater, and circuit breaker box. No doubt there are a lot of updates needed to the major systems and decorating of course. But it will make it a fabulous home, with your personal taste, colors, floors, and appliances. (It should be noted multiple cats have lived on/in the property over the years). Penllyn is a unique, picturesque neighborhood with diverse construction styles and ages, mostly custom-designed homes. Penllyn sits in the Blue Bell area, highly desired for its quiet serene neighborhoods and the award-winning Wissahickon School District, one of the best school districts in Montgomery County. Close to the Penllyn Septa commuter rail with train transportation to Philadelphia. It's a short drive to Route 309, PA Turnpike, and Route 202. Conveniently located to retail shopping and restaurants in the surrounding towns of Ambler and Spring House and the Wissahickon trail. The property is being sold in "as is" condition, but with great bones, it’s potential is worth the cost to update to fabulous. Last day of showings Sunday March 23rd.
