...Classic Charm Meets Modern Living: 5381 W Montgomery Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19131

Located in the heart of Overbrook, 5381 W Montgomery Ave offers the perfect blend of historic charm and contemporary upgrades. As you drive up to the property, you'll be welcomed by a charming front yard and a lovely front patio, ideal for relaxing with your morning coffee or chatting with neighbors. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home stands out with its thoughtful updates and timeless appeal. T

As you step through the front door, the home immediately draws you in with its 9-foot ceilings, creating a spacious, airy feel. The freshly painted living room is warm and inviting, perfect for entertaining or cozying up with a good book. This space flows seamlessly into the dining room, where a stunning exposed natural brick party wall adds character and a touch of rustic charm. The exposed brick anchors the room, adding a perfect mix of historic detail and modern style. At the back of the first floor, you’ll find the fully renovated, open-concept kitchen. This space is a chef’s dream, featuring stainless steel appliances, sleek granite countertops, and plenty of Forevermark cabinetry for storage. The design makes meal prep easy, whether you're cooking for the family or hosting a dinner party. Just beyond the kitchen, a semi glass door leads to the rear deck—the perfect spot for grilling, outdoor dining, or relaxing in the fresh air. Upstairs, the second floor offers a large owner suite with a full bathroom, two additional bedrooms, each bathed in natural light. A full bathroom with modern finishes and fixtures is located in the hallway, as well as a stackable washer and dryer for ultimate convenience—no more lugging laundry up and down stairs. The fully finished basement level is its own private retreat, with a fourth bedroom and an additional full bathroom. This space is ideal for a guest suite, home office, or a personal gym. The basement also features a second laundry area with hookups for another washer and dryer, adding extra functionality for larger households or long-term guests. This home underwent a complete renovation in 2016, blending the best of its historic origins with contemporary upgrades. While the exposed brick in the dining room showcases the home’s early 20th-century craftsmanship, the modern updates in addition to those mentioned above, include fresh paint throughout, a new water line (2024), a stunning skylight in the bedroom bathroom, and a host of smart home features: oven, thermostat, washer, dryer, and water heater are designed for convenience and comfort to ensure the home is move-in ready. Beyond the property itself, Overbrook is a vibrant and historic neighborhood offering plenty of amenities. Families will appreciate the proximity to schools like Overbrook High School and St. Joseph's University. Parks such as Morris Park offer green space and walking trails for outdoor recreation, while local shops, cafes, and restaurants provide a sense of community. For commuters, this location couldn't be more convenient. The Overbrook Train Station is just a short distance away, connecting you to Center City and beyond, while several bus routes on Montgomery Ave provide easy access to other parts of the city. With major roadways like City Avenue and the Schuylkill Expressway nearby, driving to the city or surrounding areas is a breeze. Whether you’re drawn to its historic charm, modern comforts, or ideal location, 5381 W Montgomery Ave is a home designed to grow with you. With spacious living areas, a beautiful kitchen, outdoor spaces, and versatile basement accommodations, this home is perfect for families, professionals, or anyone seeking a comfortable, stylish living space in one of Philadelphia's most historic neighborhoods.
