This remarkable 1885 Victorian offers four beds, three full and two half baths, and over 4,498 square feet, combining extraordinary original character with distinctive modern design. Featured on HGTV's Restored by the Fords, the home's garden level was reimagined to create a one-of-a-kind balance of classic and contemporary style. Their transformation included bold design elements and thoughtfully updated entertaining spaces that complement the home's Victorian architecture. Beyond the gated entrance, the home immediately makes an impression with a grand entry, beautiful hardwood floors throughout, substantial room sizes, and exceptional architectural details. Gas fireplaces in the front entry, dining room, and library bring warmth and character. The garden level kitchen and dining room create an incredible setting for entertaining. The showstopping kitchen features heated floors, a large island with double sinks, and an eat-in breakfast nook. The spacious primary suite offers a retreat of its own. The primary bath features heated floors, double sinks, a clawfoot soaking tub, and a walk-in glass shower. Three additional bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility for family, guests, office space, or additional living needs. Upstairs laundry adds everyday convenience. An additional bedroom upstairs was converted into a large dressing room/closet. Additional amenities include a whole-house water filtration system, private large flat outdoor space, and a carport with three off-street parking spaces. Ideally situated near the shops, dining and amenities of Shadyside and convenient to Pittsburgh's universities, hospitals and East End neighborhoods, 5131 Ellsworth is far more than a beautiful home. It is a distinctive HGTV-featured Victorian offering nearly 4,500 square feet, designer pedigree, historic character, private outdoor space, and three-car off-street parking in one of Pittsburgh's most sought-after neighborhoods.
