Property Description
Welcome to 24 Morris Rd, an historic Ambler estate property steeped in rich Pennsylvania history. Located just a short walking distance to Main Street shopping and dining, the manor home and separate stone cottage sit on 1.5 acres of lush grass with mature landscaping. The original part of the manor home was constructed in 1716. The home has been seamlessly expanded giving way to a sprawling, open-living floor plan. Tasteful updates with high-end finishes provide the perfect blend of "old meets new". Taking great care to preserve the original architectural aesthetic. The 5/6-bedroom manor home offers over 6500 sq ft of living space, 4 full and two half baths. The 3-car garage with upstairs loft is accessible through a breezeway connected neatly to the expansive covered porch. The chef's kitchen showcases Thermador appliances and custom Woodmode cabinetry throughout. There is an 6 burner gas range, double sinks, double dishwashers, and a tumbled marble countertop with stainless counter prep areas. The expansive marble breakfast bar provides ample space for casual in-room dining. Radiant wide plank wood floors anchor the spacious family room with matching marble fireplace. This large, yet cozy gathering space offers easy access to the formal dining area, as well as French door access to outdoor dining on the covered side porch. Limestone and wood radiant floors are found throughout the new expansion of the home. Stone fireplaces, deep windowsills, exposed stonewalls, random width pumpkin pine floors and skeleton keyed doors emanate old world grandeur. The second floor offers 5 bedrooms (or 4 and an office) and 3 full bathrooms. The master ensuite is nothing short of spectacular. Encompassing the entire second floor of the new expansion you will find vaulted ceilings, large windows offering an abundance of natural light, radiant flooring, oversized closet, and a luxurious master bath. The massive steam shower with bench seating, gracious soaking tub, radiant flooring, and heated towel bars will make everyday feel like your own personal spa retreat! A winding staircase leads you to the third floor loft of the original part of the home, which is yet another stunning architectural space. Here you will find the 5th bedroom with full bath. The vaulted ceiling is accented by exposed beams, original stonewalls, and wide plank flooring. The finished lower level includes space for casual gatherings, ping pong or movie nights, and a half bathroom. The separate stone cottage boasts limestone floors and a sprawling open floor plan with large stone fireplace. French doors open to both the front and back. 1-bedroom, full bath and laundry room complete this charming addition to the estate property. Located in the highly desirable school district of Upper Dublin, and less than a mile from the prestigious Germantown Academy, 24 Morris is truly the perfect new place to call home. ** A tax appeal has been filed to have the property reassessed to significantly reduce property taxes.
