1537 S Lecount St, Philadelphia, PA 19146

Nestled in the vibrant Grays Ferry neighborhood, this one-of-a-kind 1925 brick townhouse has been completely reimagined by its architect-owner from 2019 to today. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed, blending timeless character with cutting-edge innovation. Step inside the classic straight-thru layout and be welcomed by a custom bioethanol fireplace, the centerpiece of a home wired for the future: smart lighting, a whole-house speaker system, Alexa integration, and state-of-the-art fixtures throughout. The kitchen is a masterpiece of modern design and efficiency, custom cabinetry, hidden fridge and dishwasher, filtered water, and striking quartz countertops, all set against European ash hardwood floors and repointed, whitewashed brick that retains its rustic charm. Notable upgrades include a tankless water heater (2020), central air (2020), all new windows, and a finished basement with retractable projector screen and full HVAC. Custom European tilt-and-turn windows flood the home with natural light and provide both swing-open and tilt-in ventilation, rarely seen in Philadelphia homes. The primary suite is a statement piece in itself, with a fully integrated custom bed framed by wall-mounted fixtures and built-in illuminated shelving, a perfect fusion of function and modern design. The finished basement expands the living space with a retractable projector screen, heating/cooling, and a window for natural light. Upstairs, luxury continues with half-inch glass railings, spa-inspired baths equipped with towel warmers, dual sinks, a freestanding shower, and a high-end bidet toilet. The private garden is designed for both entertaining and serenity, with tall fencing, UV lighting, and a smart irrigation system to nurture greenery year-round. Grays Ferry offers culture, convenience, and community, with parks, local events, and easy public transit just steps away. With thoughtful architecture and extraordinary finishes, this residence is more than a home - it's a living work of art, and a true must-see.
