538 W Ellet Street Philadelphia, PA 19119

Perfectly located on a tree-lined street just steps from Carpenters Woods, and around the corner from Weavers Way Co-op and High Point Cafe, this incredibly charming and perfectly-sized stone single awaits! Featuring traditional Wissahickon schist construction, a hallmark of the area, you will find classic elegance along with modern amenities including dual-zoned central A/C. A stately front door welcomes you into a graceful foyer with hardwood floors and classic millwork that continue throughout the home. To one side is the very spacious living room with a large working wood-burning fireplace, lovely built-in bookshelves and an adjacent 4-season glass enclosed sunroom, the perfect spot to read a book, enjoy a cup of tea, or entertain. To the other side of the foyer, you will find a beautiful light-filled dining room with bay window that affords great views of the exterior front garden and flowering trees. This opens into the spacious eat-in kitchen which overlooks the lovely backyard with deck area for grilling and dining al fresco. Mature plantings and stately trees create the ultimate private retreat, with room to relax in a hammock or lounge chairs, and space for gardening. A detached 2-car garage, plus additional driveway parking provide convenience for you and your guests. A powder room completes the first level just before you ascend the turned staircase to the upper floors. The second floor is home to the primary bedroom with ensuite full bathroom and another beautiful outdoor space. French doors open onto a private upper deck where you can relax outside or leave the doors open while you lie in bed and let the breeze in. This floor has two additional bedrooms and a full hallway bath. The third floor offers three more bedrooms or office spaces and another full bath with clawfoot tub. The basement is home to the laundry with tons of room for storage. This home is part of the esteemed C. W. Henry public school catchment. The close proximity to parks and trails, easy access to public transportation, including the commuter train station, local shops, cafes, and restaurants, and the incredible West Mount Airy community vibe makes this location incredibly desirable. Schedule your showing soon or visit the open house on Sunday, the 6/1 from 1-3 pm as this one will not last long!
