Joseph Kelly House - $163,500*

1024 N 10^th

Now available, this beautifully restored 1880s Brick Italianate awaits your enjoyment. Joseph Kelly built this four-bedroom home over 120 years ago. It has seen many historic revisions and has recently been restored to its former grandeur.  The floor plan is fluid and ideal for entertaining. The rooms are large with high ceilings and many large windows and woodwork to inspire you.

Our tour begins at Sister's Park, a beautiful arboretum, which anchors this established and revitalizing neighborhood.  At the southeast corner of the park sits the Joseph Kelly house, a two-story brick structure with a wrap-around porch facing north and east. Enter into the front hall for a look at the recently recreated stain and etch glass. The original staircase is still in tact.

The front parlor hosts tall wide windows that look on the east lawn. The fireplace has original and recovered tile, with exposed brick. By way of French doors, you enter the dining room, with one of four three-window bays overlooking the park. The original built-ins and pass through connect to the kitchen.

Adjacent to the dining room is the Library, which serves as the downstairs guest room. It has an original alcove, closet, and adjacent 3/4 bath. Both of these rooms give way to the kitchen. The chefs™ kitchen has been carefully designed, complete with commercial stove, plenty of counter space and custom alder cabinetry. It is furnished with new, top line appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and wine cooler.

The tiled laundry room off the kitchen can double as a sewing room. It has plenty of storage with original built-ins. It is serviced by a laundry chute from the floor above.

At the top of the stairs, a large landing provides room for another lounge area.  From the landing you enter the large sitting room of the Master Suite. The sitting room has another bay window facing the park, with built-in bench cabinets. The sitting room connects to the Master Bedroom and the Master bath. The Master Suite also boasts an exterior door opening to an upper porch overlooking the park.  The Master bath has a turn-of-the-century pedestal soaking tub and pedestal sink.  The Suite has His and Her closets with additional storage in the hall.

Also on the second floor there are two more large bedrooms with large closets. A third full bath, with claw-foot tub and antique vanity serves the bedrooms. The attic has some storage but is mostly dedicated to HVAC. The basement is also dedicated to HVAC, but has more storage available.
