5543 ELLIOTT ST Philadelphia, PA 19143

This beautifully renovated home is a breath of fresh air among flips and a lesson plan in neutral design done right, with crisp white walls, sandy-hued flooring and gray accents that are anything but drab. Accessed through the sunny enclosed porch, the open-plan main floor is smartly laid out with enough room for living and dining areas plus a breakfast bar to gather around and a sweet powder room with gray hex tile floors and a sleek space-saving vanity. The kitchen features stainless steel Samsung appliances including a slide-in range, duochrome Shaker-style cabinets plus open shelving, quartz countertops and white subway tile backsplash. Upstairs the primary suite sits at the front with a lovely bay window, huge closet and private bath tucked away behind a barn door with an extra-wide walk-in shower with porcelain tile surround and gray hex tile floors. The hall bathroom shares the same finishes and features a soaking tub. The middle and rear bedrooms are both bright and airy with good closet space. The basement with laundry hookups offers plenty of room for extra storage, and with good light from the front window and freshly painted cement floor it could be used for a workshop or workout space. No need to worry about increasing natural gas prices--all the systems are electric. There's a nice patio out back for container gardens, and community greenspace is nearby at Cobbs Creek Park. Elliott is a quiet little side street just a few blocks from the Baltimore Ave strip and the 34 trolley.
