313 S SMEDLEY STREET

PHILADELPHIA, PA 19103

Don’t miss this truly once in a lifetime opportunity to own a slice of history on one of the prettiest tree-lined streets in the heart of Rittenhouse Square. A collaboration between two highly esteemed design/build teams at Baker Street Partners and Axe Philly, both known for adaptive reuse projects and the art of creating modern renovations while preserving all the historical details and charm. Listed on Philadelphia’s Register of Historic Places, this building housed the offices of renowned architects Silverman and Levy in 1925. Silverman worked for the one and only Horace Trumbauer before starting his own firm, and created many of the iconic Art Deco establishments in Philadelphia. In 1929, Julian Abele was commissioned to create the facade you see now, one that has made many a passerby stop in admiration and awe for the past century. Originally designed with two adjacent front doors, you will now enter through one to find an open living room with ornate woodwork and hardwood floors that lead to an arched doorway into the fully renovated, spacious eat-in kitchen with quartz countertops, high-end appliances ample cabinetry, and large picture window. A built-in banquet makes a cozy spot for meals while a door opens onto a small ground level outdoor space for grilling and storing bikes. Ascend the stairs to the breathtaking lofty sitting room/library that shows off stunning Palladian windows and provides the perfect spot to entertain, read a book, or do work with abundant natural light…a special space that you will not want to leave! This floor is home to a bedroom with exposed brick wall and attached deck, fully renovated bathroom, and a great bedroom or office space with laundry closet and transom window. The third floor is home to the bright and sunny primary suite, complete with beautifully tiled en suite bathroom, wall of closets, and yet another private deck with city skyline views. Brand new systems throughout including central air, new roof, electric and a clean, dry basement for storage. Just steps from all the wonderful amenities like theaters, shops, restaurants, parks of Rittenhouse Square, Avenue of the Arts, and the rest of Center City and part of the esteemed Greenfield public school catchment. Make your dreams come true and call this incredible home your own!
