True luxury isn’t always about size. It’s about the freedom to live well. Welcome to 235 N Ridge Avenue, where beautifully updated living meets the unmistakable energy of Ambler Borough. Here, Saturday mornings begin at the Farmers Market. Evenings are spent enjoying the cozy gas fireplace or a night out at award winning restaurants, independent films at the historic Ambler Theater, locally owned boutiques, First Friday celebrations, and seasonal festivals. This is more than a home. It is a front row seat to one of Montgomery County’s most vibrant communities. Inside, every update has been thoughtfully completed to create a home that is as functional as it is beautiful. Refinished hardwood floors flow throughout the main living spaces, while the renovated kitchen features granite countertops, tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, and generous workspace designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Professionally designed closet organization systems maximize storage, new ceiling fans and custom window treatments enhance every room, and the beautifully renovated full bathroom showcases a new tub with a tiled surround. Step outside to enjoy one of the property's standout features: a remarkably private backyard, a rare find in the borough. Surrounded by mature landscaping, it's an ideal space for entertaining, gardening, or simply unwinding outdoors. An oversized garage provides exceptional storage for your vehicle, tools, hobbies, or outdoor equipment, while the wide driveway offers plenty of off street parking for family gatherings and guests. The finished lower level expands your living space with a walk-in pantry and a professionally waterproofed basement featuring a new sump pit, sump pump, and French drain system. Thoughtful investments continue throughout the property, including a brand new air conditioning system installed in 2026, whole house generator connected to the expanded gas line, a new roof installed in 2018, replacement of stucco on the main parts of the living house with siding, professionally designed landscaping with a raised bed garden, a complete garage door system replacement, and a new hot water heater. Life here extends well beyond your front door. Enjoy dinner at Bridget’s Steakhouse, Blue Taj, El Limon, Sushi Hatsu, Forest & Main Brewing Company, or Geronimo’s Peruvian Cuisine. Spend an afternoon exploring locally owned boutiques, gathering with friends at neighborhood cafés, or taking in the energy of Ambler’s year round community events. It is a walkable lifestyle that blends connection, culture, and convenience in one of Montgomery County’s most desirable boroughs. Everyday living is equally effortless, with Weavers Way Co op, Giant, Whole Foods Market, and Trader Joe’s all within easy reach. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate nearby parks, athletic courts, open green space, the Wissahickon Waterfowl Preserve, and the scenic trails of Four Mills Nature Reserve, making it easy to enjoy nature close to home. For commuters, convenience is exceptional. The walkable Ambler SEPTA Regional Rail Station offers direct service to Center City Philadelphia approximately .7 miles from the home, while other nearby SEPTA bus routes, Butler Pike, Bethlehem Pike, Route 309, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike provide seamless access throughout the region. Some homes simply check every box. Others change the way you live. 235 N Ridge Avenue is more than an address. It is an invitation to experience the very best of Ambler, where community, convenience, and connection come together to create a lifestyle that feels as rewarding as it is effortless.

The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
