526 10th Street is a one-of-a-kind early 1900s farmhouse, fully restored by two architects with an eye for everything that matters. From the moment you step through the front door, you'll feel the difference: original wood floors, preserved staircase, and natural light pouring through every room, paired seamlessly with custom finishes, modern amenities and updated mechanicals.
The transformation started from the inside out. A secondary staircase that once descended directly into the kitchen was eliminated, opening up valuable square footage and creating a more intuitive flow throughout the main level. The entry into the living room was widened and raised, making the transition between spaces feel open and welcoming. The dining room is a standout - generous, light-filled, and anchored by plenty of wall space for hutches. The kitchen was expanded and redesigned, now featuring a generous footprint, a new window bank, a built-in coffee bar, center island, pantry, and a sunny eating nook you won't want to leave. A first-floor powder room and tucked-away laundry make everyday living effortless.
Upstairs, the changes are just as considered and intentional. Three versatile bedrooms including one that works perfectly as a home office or nursery. The main bath was completely reimagined where a dormer addition brought in height, light, and breathing room, resulting in a beautiful space with a bathtub/shower, stunning vanity, and ceramic tile that feels anything but compromised. Then an all-new open staircase that pulls you to the crown jewel on the third floor, where the primary suite earns its name: a stunning bath, a hallway of custom-fabricated closets with wood floors, and a spacious, sun-soaked bedroom with a mini split that feels like a retreat from the world.
Finishes were handled with deep respect for the original architecture. Hardcoat plaster was applied throughout, custom hardwood trim was designed to match the home's original millwork seamlessly. Even the exterior received attention, with proper window trim added to the front and side elevations for enhanced curb appeal and architectural integrity.
Step outside to a charming front porch, side deck, and flat, grassy backyard, plus alley access to two off-street parking spots complete the picture. Homes like this don't come around often.
