733 Montrose St, Philadelphia, PA 19147

Description

Classic charm meets thoughtful design at 733 Montrose, a Bella Vista brick-front townhouse full of character and personality. A wrought iron railing, flower box, and bike rack create welcoming, practical curb appeal and inside, the architect-owners have reimagined the space with a warm, curated, and comfortable touch—far from the typical grey-and-white box.

A vestibule opens to a bright, sunny living area with hardwood floors throughout, enhanced by crown molding, chair rail, and an elegant archway dividing the living and dining rooms. The decorative millwork continues through the dining room and leads to a finished basement.

The kitchen features stone tile floors, a mix of open shelving and cabinetry, double ovens, and a handmade tile backsplash. Outside is a sunny, masonry-walled rear deck—perfect for container gardening, relaxing or entertaining.

Upstairs, a skylight fills the home with natural light. The south facing primary bedroom offers built-in closets and a tucked-away desk nook and the second bedroom overlooks the rear. The bedrooms are separated by an open flex space featuring a second skylight over a built-in bench – truly a cozy and versatile space offering many uses. The main bathroom is finished with handmade tile and a deep soaking tub with and overhead and wanded shower.

The finished basement adds a powder room, a built-in laundry with a separate sink, and ample storage. There’s even an unfinished section for mechanicals and a wood shop. Bright and inviting with northern and southern exposures, this thoughtfully designed home offers a cheery blend of function and charm in the heart of Bella Vista. Steps from neighborhood faves Taco Heart, Shot Tower Coffee, John’s Water Ice, the historic 9th Street market, independent retailers along Fabric Row, South Street, and so much more that makes this location an incredible urban experience tucked away on a quiet block.
