5842 Montrose St

This well-loved porchfront home on a quiet little one-way street in the heart of Cobbs Creek is ready for its next chapter. Original details like the lovely front bay window, hardwood floors, turned staircase and ogee archways plus great natural light and a spacious floorplan provide the ideal "before" for a dreamy "after." The main floor is your classic rowhome layout with living room, separate dining room, large rear kitchen and access to a nicely sized patio. There are three bedrooms upstairs with almost all original woodwork intact; both the front and rear have dual closets (one with original mirrored doors) and the middle is large enough to be a true bedroom. The bathroom has a skylight and plenty of space to create a serene spa-like bath. There's a linen closet in the hallway and plenty of room for additional storage in the basement. And with direct access from the rear yard, the basement could be finished and used as a guest suite in the future. This home is in a convenient location near schools, SEPTA, Morris Rec Center, the Free Library and shopping centers. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the easy access to Cobbs Creek Park with its biking and hiking trails, baseball, basketball and ice skating rink.
