1545 MONTROSE ST Philadelphia, PA 19146

Welcome to 1545 Montrose. This home is truly for the discerning buyer. A perfect blend of modern amenities and classic upgrades throughout make this home truly unique, and unlike anything on the market. Located on a gorgeous tree-lined street in the heart of Graduate Hospital, this home is close to everything the city has to offer. Lincoln Square, Sprouts grocery store, Target, Stabucks, the Broad Street Line, and Rittenhouse are only a few short blocks away. The location alone makes this home great, but the impeccable upgrades and carefully thought out design, care, and love put into this home are what makes it truly special. The lovely brick facade with modern stair rail, window box planter and bay window are tastefully done, and seamlessly blend into the block, while still standing out as a beautiful home.

Entering the home, you're immediately impressed by the open-concept main living floor that allows natural light to flow throughout with Southern and Northern exposures through oversized windows. The airy first floor is made even brighter by glowing oak hardwood floors and recessed lighting. Beautiful crown molding and custom shadow box molding throughout the first floor were installed just last year, and the kitchen features tastefully redone cabinets with real brass antique handles, and a gorgeous brass chandelier over the island, which also functions as a discreet fan. The custom open cabinets were extended to the ceiling, and offer additional storage in an already spacious kitchen--perfect for displaying pottery, art or cookbooks, or for use as extra storage. Individually operated Currey & Company sconces adorn the dining area, and the staircase wall features elegant aviary wallpaper, made-to-order in Transylvania. The kitchen flows to the rear yard, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the upcoming spring/summer seasons.

The main suite has been completely overhauled, with recently installed glass pocket doors, leading you into the owners suite. Featuring 6-inch crown molding and floor-to-ceiling wallpaper by Farrow & Ball, hand-crafted in Britain. Two large windows bring in plenty of natural light with Southern exposure, and the space is made even brighter by the authentic Murano glass chandelier made in Italy. The hallway pendant lights were custom ordered and made in Egypt. All doors on this level have unlacquered brass and glass handles, including the his and hers closets and the main bath, with double vanity, and massive shower with frameless glass door enclosure. The Owners suite also features a custom window seat with six spacious drawers underneath, which was designed and installed by a local interior designer. Right outside this luxurious suite is a comfortable custom office space designed by the same interior designer. The two bedrooms on the second floor are similarly adorned with high-end wallpaper, with one of them also featuring crown, chair rail and picture frame molding. Both bedrooms have beautiful lighting, and generous closets. The large center hall bath has thoughtful tile, and features a combo shower tub with shelving.

The rooftop deck is accessed through the pilot house, and is large enough for a six-seater sectional, four person dining set, and several large planters. There are unobstructed 360 degree views, including amazing views of the center city skyline.

The finished basement has floor to ceiling wallpaper made by Serena & Lily, and a custom laundry area with built-in shelving and wall mounted laundry drying rack. The washer and dryer stacked units were installed within the last year. The lower level also features a full bathroom with a brand new vanity, walk in shower and a Ballard Designs mirror. This space is currently set up as a second seating area, but could easily accommodate a fourth bedroom, a playspace, a second office, and more.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime home. You have to see it to truly appreciate its incredible designer upgrades and features.
