Description

Welcome to 502 Madison Avenue: a 1941 large but quaint Cape Cod, 4 bed, 2 and a 1/2 bath home The home is located in sought-after Fort Washington and the award-winning Upper Dublin School District, minutes from downtown Ambler’s shops and restaurants, and SEPTA train station. In the last year, the owners have renovated and/or updated nearly 80% of the home, with the intention of staying a very long time, but life happened. After ages of planning their return back home to Philly, and spending nearly a year turning 502 Madison Ave. into their dream home, they have, after deep deliberation, decided to move to be closer to (coming soon) a new grandchild. They have vetted and sweated out all the contractors and lived a year with the dust, so you don’t have to. There are just some of the fun, personal touches left for the new dreamers. Renovations include: new roof with transferable warranty, downspouts and gutter guard, new garage door and French drain along-side of garage, extensive landscaping for private back yard, including outdoor security lighting and ring doorbell, new red cedar privacy fence, new HVAC, ceiling fans, seventeen new windows, including a double paned stained-glass at front entrance, updated electrics throughout the home, including new 200-amp electric panel. Modernized primary bedroom on the main that now includes an En-Suite bath with double vanity and large walk-in shower. The entire house has been painted internally (including removing layers of layer of old wallpaper) and all bedrooms have new carpet. Updated plumbing, including new powder room for guests on main floor, relocated Washer/Dryer from the basement to main (included is a new all-in-one GE Washer/Dryer). In the kitchen is a new faucet, dishwasher, and disposal. Basement updates include: new sump-pump and walls drylok sealed. Custom blinds in living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and bath. New remote-controlled gas fireplace in living room with both fireplaces serviced. Open concept kitchen/dining room adjoining huge Great Room with cathedral ceiling, gas stove fireplace, abundant light, including French doors leading to patio and “new” vintage amber glass pendant lighting by mid-century Swedish designer Carl Fagerlund. A flexible room for an office/butler’s pantry or even a nursery completes the main floor giving personal options. Large upstairs bedrooms with architectural interest, one including an adorable window seat. This is not a cookie cutter house, so call, make an appointment, and take a look at this charming home!
