Built by a respected local builder with an intelligent, artistic approach to design, this 4-bedroom home wastes virtually no space and has 5 years remaining on the tax abatement. Soaring ceilings, oversized Pella windows, white oak floors, a gas fireplace, and a stunning sculptural central staircase give the main living space a sense of volume and character that is difficult to replicate. The kitchen pairs Calacatta Quartz countertops, large-format tile, an upgraded gas range, wine fridge, Bosch microwave, and stainless appliances with one of the home's best features: a private rear Trex deck that functions almost like another room bringing the outdoors in. On the first upper level you'll find two spacious secondary bedrooms, a full hall bathroom, and the laundry room. The top level is dedicated to the primary suite, complete with a wet bar, two large outfitted closets including a walk-in, and an ensuite bath finished in honed Carrara marble with a double vanity, oversized shower, and separate soaking tub. On the full size rooftop deck you can take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the Philadelphia skyline. The lower level adds another living area plus a flexible room ideal for guests, a home office, gym, or studio. Outside the street-to-street property provides a private rear-entry one-car garage while Annin Street is intentionally designed to discourage through traffic creating an abundance of private parking on the block. Located just one block from Washington Avenue, with neighborhood bakeries, coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, public transit, and bike routes. Graduate Hospital, Fitler Square, Rittenhouse, Bella Vista, CHOP, the stadiums, the Broad Street Line, Schuylkill River Trail, and Grays Ferry Crescent are all within easy reach. 2128 Ellsworth combines thoughtful architecture, serious functionality, private parking, outdoor space, and a location at the center of one of South Philadelphia's most dynamic neighborhoods. Mortgage savings may be available for buyers of this listing.
