LOCATED IN THE GREENFIELD CATCHMENT! Set on a tree-lined block in Graduate Hospital, steps from Fitler Square, 2138 Kater St pairs the quality of newer construction with the kind of space that's hard to find in a home this age. Built in 2020, this three-story brick rowhome spans almost 1,900 square feet, with 9' ceilings, oak hardwood floors, and a millwork package; crown molding, wainscoting, layered trim details running throughout the main living level. The open first floor moves easily from a generous family room into a dedicated dining area and back to a custom center-island kitchen: quartzite counters, tile backsplash, a full run of cabinetry, and stainless appliances. The second floor carries the same 9' ceilings and hardwood into two well-sized bedrooms with a shared hall bath, plus a laundry room with sink and overhead cabinetry. The third-floor primary suite tops it off with 10' ceilings, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-style bath with a double vanity and an oversized shower. Above it all, the roof deck delivers wide-open Center City skyline views with plenty of room to entertain or just watch the sun go down. And where most homes on the block stop at three bedrooms, this one goes further: the sellers finished the lower level into a true fourth bedroom, with flexibility to be a guest suite or office. Add in years remaining on the 10-year tax abatement and a walk score that puts the Schuylkill River Trail, Rittenhouse Square, and the best of Fitler Square and Graduate Hospital within easy reach, and 2138 Kater St is a standout.
