A four-story pre-war brick residence built in 1926, Melrose Park House is a low-rise condominium complex organized into four wings with small lobbies and elevator access. Architecturally it reflects early 20th-century garden-apartment and classic apartment-house detailing: marble-floored entry foyer, decorative crown moldings, arched doorways and hardwood floors with inlaid borders. Units range from one-bedroom layouts to spacious three-bedroom plans; interiors commonly include formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, generous closets (including cedar and walk-ins), recessed lighting, soaking tubs and original-but-updated finishes. The property is set around a landscaped central courtyard and extensive hardscaped exterior areas with sidewalks, lighting and reserved parking lots. Resident conveniences include an elevator, assigned parking spaces, large individual basement storage bins, on-site laundry or in-unit laundry in many homes, and accessible stair and side entrances. The building’s pet-friendly policy and maintenance-free condo structure are repeatedly highlighted in listings. Located immediately adjacent to the Melrose Park SEPTA commuter rail station, the building offers direct regional-rail access to Center City and easy driving access to major routes, nearby shopping, restaurants, parks, hospitals and universities.
