3012 Montrose Ave

Built in the 1920s and brimming with character that simply can't be replicated, this stunning home is a rare find where nearly a century of craftsmanship meets every modern comfort. Three graceful pocket doors, original hardwood floors throughout — including parquet flooring on the upstairs landing — three decorative fireplaces, original door hardware, a stained glass window, and brass stair corner details make this home an absolute standout.
From the moment you step inside into the grand foyer with a stunning staircase, the history speaks for itself. The flexible floor plan offers three distinct living areas to arrange as a formal living room, dining room, home office, or whatever your lifestyle calls for. A full bathroom on the main floor adds everyday convenience. True to its 1920s roots, a back staircase connects the floors and a coat closet, a dedicated mudroom, a pantry and under stair storage are functional additions that honor the home's historic bones.
The chef's kitchen features a seven-foot island, custom soft-close cabinetry, open shelving with a beautiful mural, a five-burner gas range, and stainless appliances. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a spa-like en suite with a 5x5 tile shower and double vanity, and three additional bedrooms and a conveniently located stackable washer/dryer closet complete the second floor.
A full front porch invites you to slow down and take in the neighborhood, while a second-floor balcony overlooks a fully fenced backyard — complete with a 400 sq. ft. patio perfect for entertaining, a paved driveway for off-street parking, and a detached shed for extra storage.
Brand new plumbing, a new HVAC system servicing the second floor, new vinyl siding and rain gutters provide total peace of mind. An unfinished floored walk up attic fully insulated and vented for heat and cool and an unfinished partial basement. Minutes from Battery Park, North Avenue Library, local shops and restaurants, with easy access to I-95 and I-64.
