1732 Montrose St, Philadelphia, PA 19146

Welcome home to 1732 Montrose Street, a beautiful custom-built retreat in Grad Hospital. This home has an open, modern feel, and several outdoor spaces. Renovated by local architect Steve Maffei, this well-maintained and light-filled home is a mix of natural materials and contemporary spaces, with an open but functional feel. There are smart features like a thermostat and built-in porch fan outdoors. Enter into a comfortable living room, bright and airy, with a gas fireplace and hardwood floors that continue throughout. Between the living room and kitchen, there is a dining space for happy gatherings and relaxed entertainment; or, the living room can flexibly expand into this space. The kitchen itself has granite countertops, stainless appliances including a range installed in 2020, an island for food prep and grabbing breakfast, a desk in the corner, and plenty of storage. Beyond the kitchen, the glass sliding doors open to a deck area sheltered by a balcony/deck above, and then opens to an open area paved with bluestone and edged with perennial beds. There, you’ll enjoy your own personal eden, with an 8-foot brick wall for privacy. The low-maintenance garden has multiple areas — for grilling, chilling and relaxing with friends. There is a fire pit for cool evenings and that sheltered deck area to comfortably enjoy when it drizzles. A small doggy door is accessible for pets. Back indoors, admire the brick wall as you ascend the floating staircase to the second level. There, you’ll find a large bedroom, a full bathroom and a bonus space perfect for relaxing on a sofa or working out on an exercise bike. An outside door leads to a private balcony for relaxing while overlooking the garden below. Inside once again, continue up the floating stairs to the third floor, where two more bedrooms have Closet by Design storage, peaked and beadboarded ceilings and another full bath, this one with a rainfall shower and whirlpool tub. In the basement, there is a laundry area with lots of storage and a Bilco door with stairs to Montrose Street. The Graduate Hospital neighborhood is a thriving community, known for its proximity to restaurants, cafés, parks and boutique shops. This home is conveniently located with easy access to Broad Street and its subway and buses (and access to stadiums), I-76 for an easy commute out of the city, and only a short walk to Target, Sprouts and Wine and Spirits stores. A leisurely 10-15 minute walk brings you to the elegant green space and farmer’s market of Rittenhouse Square. Other Grad Hospital favorites like Dock Street Brewery, Sidecar Bar & Grille, are close by, as are restaurants and shops on South Street. Biking around the downtown area is also available via your own bike or a near-by bike-share from Indego. At the 17th Street end of this tree-lined block, you can enjoy the park, but at 1732 Montrose, you have your own green space! 1732 Montrose is a really great place to call home.
