Description
Set on 1/2 acre in coveted Broad Axe Village, 12 Meade Road offers something increasingly difficult to find: the character and sense of community of this beloved Whitpain Township neighborhood paired with nearly 3,400 square feet of beautifully expanded and thoughtfully renovated above-grade living space. Located within the highly regarded Wissahickon School District, this distinctive home has evolved through two significant renovations, creating an exceptional floor plan designed for the way people live today. Step inside through a fabulous mudroom, where hardwood floors introduce warm, inviting living spaces and thoughtful design details throughout. But it is the expansive 2023 renovation that truly transforms the first floor. An eye-catching kitchen anchors the space and opens seamlessly to a generous breakfast room and sunken family room with gas fireplace. A beautifully appointed wet bar with sink, dishwasher and wine refrigerator makes entertaining effortless, while the adjoining powder room adds everyday convenience. Together, these spaces create the natural heart of the home--open, comfortable and equally suited to a quiet night in or a house full of guests. The expansion continues upstairs, where the impressive owner's suite feels almost unexpected in a neighborhood known for its classic Colonials. Generously proportioned and filled with natural light, the suite includes an enormous walk-in closet and beautifully renovated bath with an oversized walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility. Two share an updated hall bath with tub/shower, while the fourth enjoys its own newly renovated en-suite bath. The finished lower level adds approximately 342 square feet of bonus space, ideal for a recreation room, fitness area or playroom, with additional storage nearby. Extensive improvements throughout the home include a newer roof, replacement windows, updated HVAC, waterproofed basement with French drain, PVC sewer line, natural gas installation, additional mini-split systems and more.
Outside, the property becomes even more compelling. The expansive, fully fenced rear yard offers tremendous room to play, garden and entertain, complemented by a large slate patio with outdoor television for summer evenings and gatherings under the stars. A storage shed, one-car garage with custom California Closets storage, and freshly paved driveway with ample parking complete the property. Broad Axe Village has long been treasured for its picturesque streets, distinctive homes and genuine neighborhood spirit--and the location makes everyday life remarkably convenient. The Ambler Train Station and commuter rail are just about a mile away, while the shops, restaurants, cafes and entertainment of vibrant downtown Ambler are equally close at hand. Everyday shopping and dining are minutes away in Blue Bell and at Spring House Village, home to Whole Foods Market and a variety of additional shops and services. Nearby Willow Lake Farm Preserve and Prophecy Creek Park offer beautiful trails and open space, while access to major commuter routes makes travel throughout the region easy. Beautifully expanded, extensively updated and set on an unusually generous lot, 12 Meade Road offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the character of Broad Axe Village without compromising the space, amenities and floor plan today's buyers are looking for.
