welcome to Point Breeze

We’ve mentioned the 2000 block of Ellsworth Street a couple of times over the past year, most recently bringing construction at 2050 and 2052 Ellsworth to your attention. Today, we noticed two more homes are on the way on this block, thanks to developer Carriage Investments LLC. A large hole is in the process of being dug here, where the lots have sat vacant for years.

According to the permit, the homes at 2032 and 2034 Ellsworth St. will be three stories and will have roof decks. KJO Architecture will handle the design for the project. Many of the homes on this block have parking in the rear, accessed via Annin St., and we’re imagining that these homes will also have that feature. We’re referring, of course, to the block of Annin that’s seen seven homes go up this year, with three more on the way. You can see a few of those homes when you look through the lot:

Ooooh

It’s amazing to look at this block of Ellsworth Street and reflect on how much development has taken place here in such a short time. And not for nothing, the homes that are going up or being rehabbed are selling for high prices, and in short order. With a new coffee shop coming very soon right around the corner, we can only imagine things will continue to develop. We’re guessing that vacant land will soon be a thing of the past on this block, and perhaps some time later, on the 2000 block of Annin as well.

    Ellsworth is becoming the Bainbridge of Point Breeze.

    I remember looking at 2034 last year.  It was listed for $32,000 and quickly sold for $50,000.  That seemed like a high price for a lot here a year ago but now nobody would bat an eye.

    Anyone know what the deal is with the lot at 2036?  The owners of the house at 2038 had purchased it from the RDA a couple years ago ostensibly as a side yard, though it certainly isn’t maintained like one.  They don’t seem to be raising any objections to the mountain of dirt there now either.  Filling that stretch of lots in with houses would go a long way toward moving progress down to 2000 Annin.
