Welcome to 400 E Prospect Ave, a truly distinctive Dutch Colonial home in the heart of North Wales Borough! Ideally located just outside the designated historic district, this home is rich with historic character, blending timeless architectural details with thoughtful updates and meticulous care.
A charming brick walkway leads to the front entrance and into a welcoming formal foyer featuring chair rail molding and a generous coat closet. Beautiful hardwood floors flow throughout much of the home and have been lovingly maintained by the current owners.
The spacious family room provides an inviting gathering place centered around a wood-burning fireplace. Large windows fill the room with natural light, while two, windowed doors open directly onto the expansive covered side porch. Settle onto the porch, an exceptional extension of the home's living space, and enjoy the wide-open views of the North Wales Elementary field just across the street.
Off the foyer, the formal dining room features a large window, French doors, and plenty of room for entertaining. The kitchen is exceptionally well designed, with pristine white countertops, a gas range and custom cabinetry created to maximize every inch of storage. Thoughtful features include pull-out drawers, a pull-out trash cabinet, pan and drawer dividers, and even a pull-out cutting board for the home chef.
Just beyond the kitchen is a bright and versatile space currently serving as both a casual dining area and study. Converted from a former porch, this sunny room incorporates exposed brick that adds warmth, texture, and even more character to the home.
Upstairs, the second floor offers two generously sized bedrooms with hardwood flooring, a hall bath with a large vanity and tub/shower, and the spacious primary suite. The primary bedroom features hardwood flooring, two closets, a comfortable sitting area with under window storage bench, and a private en suite bath with shower.
Continue up the wide switchback staircase to the third floor, where you'll discover a charming. light-filled fourth bedroom complete with carpeting, its own closet, and two delightful window seats, the perfect spots to curl up with a book. An adjoining storage room provides plenty of additional space for items you want tucked neatly away but easily accessible.
The basement includes a small room that had been used for wood-working, the charming laundry with laundry tub, and a large storage area all with plenty of windows to make it bright.
The outdoor spaces are just as special. When you're not relaxing on the covered porch overlooking the park, retreat to the private, tree-lined brick patio. Parking is plentiful, with a long brick driveway accommodating up to approximately six vehicles. The detached brick two-car garage offers even more parking and storage possibilities.
Enjoy the charm and craftsmanship of an older home along with the peace of mind that comes from several important recent improvements, including a new roof in 2022, steam boiler in 2023, and hot water heater in 2020.
And then there's the location! 400 E Prospect Ave puts you close to everything North Wales Borough has to offer while providing a quieter setting away from Main Street. Enjoy easy access to local shops, dining, parks, and transportation, with a bus stop approximately two blocks away, the North Wales SEPTA station about a mile away, and Routes 309 and 202 within easy reach.
Character, space, outdoor living, abundant parking, green space views, and a wonderfully walkable borough location. 400 E Prospect Ave is a home you won't want to miss.
