About 340 S Smedley St
Smedley Street Stunner! Absolutely lovely 3 bed/2.5 bath home on one of the most desirable, tree-lined blocks in Rittenhouse Square. The charm of the home is evident right away, as the front exterior features a custom aluminum tree surround, no-rot composite window boxes and loads of curb appeal. The updated entry vestibule is the perfect spot to hang your coat and wipe your feet off before stepping into the sleek, modern living/dining room with a gorgeous Akari light fixture and updated LED ceiling lights throughout. Local interiors firm Fisher Grey designed the custom pantry/closet/coffee bar with quartz counter and backsplash in the updated kitchen that also features a new island, new drawer microwave, new dishwasher, vintage Danish pendant lighting and a radiator shroud with a quartz top. A redecorated powder room is conveniently located on this level as well. The back garden is a delightful oasis with lovely cedar privacy lattice and gate, and native plantings. Permeable pavers have been installed under the Rain Check program sponsored by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and the Philadelphia Water Department, and a downspout planter reflecting the Rain Check program's design also has been installed. Heading up the stairs to the 2nd floor, there is a hand made, removable cherry wood baluster insert and a new striped wool runner. The 2nd floor family room/library is truly a sight to behold. Custom Fisher Grey designed cherry bookshelves and audio cabinet were expertly created and installed by the Philadelphia Woodworking Company and are the ultimate expression of form, function and style. The wood burning fireplace with a refinished mantle makes this a cozy yet spacious space that is perfect for curling up with a good book or listening to some vinyl. The primary suite is located on this level as well and offers plenty of storage between the built-in wardrobes and closet with Elfa storage system. The renovated en suite bathroom includes a new vanity, new tile, Kohler and Toto fixtures and a Runtal towel warmer/radiator. The third floor offers another full bathroom as well as two spacious bedrooms. No detail has gone unnoticed in this home - from period correct Greek Revival moldings and trim to updated light fixtures. This one truly checks all of the boxes - abundant natural light, central air, enough beds/baths, multiple living spaces, a gorgeous patio and a WalkScore of 99! This is truly the ultimate in city living.
