Sometimes itâs about the house. Sometimes itâs about the neighborhood. And sometimes you hit the jackpot and get both! Smick St. has been consistently nominated as âa best place to liveâ in Manayunk. When the current owners walked into this newly constructed townhome on this quaint street, they knew right away it was the ONE. They loved the custom features, the functional floorplan, all the extra storage options and, of course, the amazing roof deck with stunning rooftop views of the neighborhood. The handsome brick front façade opens onto an entry foyer ideal for coats and shoes, and a few steps up, introduces a lovely open floorplan. This floorplan has been strategically designed to offer a real formal dining room and, in this case, a necessary haven for a grand piano. A Chefâs kitchen features handsome dark wood cabinetry, a full stainless steel appliance package, marble counters and a center island that holds a built in wine cooler. The kitchen is center focal point, bridging the dining area on one side and gracious living room on the other. A cozy half bath and another entry/exit to the private parking behind the house complete the thoughtful arrangement. Wide staircases accented with custom railings lead to the 2nd and 3rd levels. Two enormous bedrooms on the 2nd level are smartly situated on opposite sides of the house. Large windows in each provide ample natural light, casting bright shadows on the soft hues of yellow cloaking the spaces. (Gem and Warm tones are in vogue today and this home is up to date! A wide hallway holds a very spacious laundry room, outfitted with sufficient cabinets and comely quartz counter for optimal functionality. The bath on this level is also roomy featuring a handsome double sink wood vanity with quartz counter and a tub/shower combination. A stunning principal suite comprises the entire top floor. The âking-sizedâ bedroom, adorned with a huge window for ample natural light leads to a walk through that holds TWO completely customized closets, each uniquely outfitted for his/hers options. There, nestled against an enormous draped window, like the royal lady she is, sits a stunning designer soaking tub, a seductive lure into the life of the luxury bath. An elegant tile and glass walk in shower comprise one corner, a spacious linen closet fits nicely nearby. Double- sink wood vanities accented with double mirrors and contemporary lighting gracefully span one wall. When you are looking for comfortable outdoor space to relax, entertain, enjoy the seasonal weather, tinker with some urban gardening and revel in captivating views, just stroll upstairs to your own private roof deck. The scene here is truly remarkable and will not disappoint. A fully finished basement is multi-functional. A lovely window seat offers a haven for quiet time; an outfitted gym provides a convenient workout area; a desk and sofa act as a convenient study/den. A huge closet and an enormous open area behind the finished space provides the much desired additional storage. Besides the amazing features of this house, the neighborhood is a huge attraction for young professionals and families. Manayunk boasts an urban experience with small town charm. Many of the buildings in this old mill town have been repurposed as housing or retail and dining. It is a community minded neighborhood with an active social media presence and interaction. Main Street is an energetic hub of diverse eateries and retail and the area borders the Manayunk Canal, the Tow Path, and Pretzel Park. It is home to the renowned annual Arts Festival, along with other events throughout the year. Septa lines are well represented bringing easy access to Center City or regional areas beyond. It truly does offer an urban vibe with a small town charm.
