414 Brookside Avenue, Ambler
Welcome to 414 Brookside Avenue — a charming single-family home located on a quiet Lower Gwynedd street in the highly regarded Wissahickon School District. Perfectly situated, just a stroll from vibrant downtown Ambler, multiple parks and trails; this home offers the ideal blend of suburban comfort and in-town convenience. Enjoy quick access to Ambler’s beloved theater, restaurants, shops, and festivals, as well as the train station, parks, and community events that make this area such a sought-after place to live. In addition to downtown Ambler, all three schools; Lower Gwynedd Elementary, Wissahickon Middle and High Schools, are located just a few blocks away. A few blocks in the other direction leads to Ambler Yards, where you can find an anchor brewery and frequent outdoor events, boasting food trucks and tons of fun.
Step inside and you’ll find a home with great bones, fantastic natural light, and plenty of potential. A chic front door leads you into the foyer, which offers views into the living room, dining area and kitchen. The rooms all flow seamlessly together, setting a welcoming tone. To your left is an open and airy dining area, perfect for everyday meals or casual gatherings, which opens into the kitchen.
Through the kitchen, you will find a spacious living room featuring generous windows, which offer lovely views into the backyard, and a wood burning fireplace. The adjoining den features sliders that open onto a large patio. The den could also be used as a formal dining room, should you want to expand the kitchen. A conveniently located powder room and access to the attached one-car garage complete the first floor.
Upstairs, you’ll find three very sizable bedrooms, including a nicely sized primary bedroom with a very spacious en-suite bath and generous closet space.
The secondary bedrooms share a full hall bath, and all are freshly carpeted with new paint, creating a crisp, move-in ready feel. A bonus room on this level offers the perfect spot for a home office, hobby room, or quiet reading nook — a useful, flexible space that today’s lifestyle demands.
Down below, the finished basement adds another level of living space, ideal for a family room, media area, or home gym. There’s also a dedicated laundry area with a half bath, as well as storage for seasonal items and extras.
Outside, a fenced-in backyard provides just the right amount of space to relax, play, or entertain. Whether you’re envisioning summer barbecues on the patio, a fire pit setup for cooler evenings, or simply a quiet retreat surrounded by greenery, this yard has the versatility to make it your own.
Recent updates include a newer roof, fresh interior paint throughout and new carpeting, giving the home a clean and inviting feel. While move-in ready, the home is also priced to reflect that it could benefit from some additional TLC — an excellent opportunity to personalize finishes and create long-term value in a neighborhood where homes of this size are rarely available at this price point.
Residents of Lower Gwynedd enjoy a strong sense of community, top-rated schools, nearby parks and trails, and easy access to major routes for a quick commute to Philadelphia or the surrounding suburbs. The location truly offers the best of both worlds — a peaceful neighborhood setting with the charm and convenience of Ambler’s walkable downtown just minutes from your door.
