Home Details for 525 N 1st Street

Meticulously renovated and artfully reimagined, this 1879 brick town house is a showcase of historic character and inspired design in the heart of Jackson Ward-just steps from the galleries, restaurants, and creative energy of the Arts District. From the moment you enter this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 2,426 SF home, its architectural pedigree is unmistakable. Full-length windows pour natural light across burnished wood floors, while functional picture molding invites a rotating art collection. The richly aged, original staircase rises as a dramatic focal point-an enduring testament to 19th-century craftsmanship. The first floor unfolds in an open concept plan that balances historic elegance with contemporary flow. Living and dining spaces connect seamlessly to a cook's kitchen designed for both beauty and performance, featuring a substantial stone-topped island, breakfast bar, gas cooking, and stainless steel appliances. Thoughtfully crafted built-in shelving adds texture and intention-ideal for book lovers, collectors, and creatives alike. A cozy library, powder room, and an exceptionally generous mudroom with pantry complete the level with practicality and charm. French doors open to a partially covered side porch overlooking the rear garden, creating a natural extension of the living space-perfect for intimate dinners or relaxed afternoons outdoors. Upstairs, three luminous bedrooms and two full baths include a serene primary suite with en suite bath. The hall opens onto a large balcony, offering a quiet perch above the garden. Fully fenced front and rear gardens provide privacy and green respite in the city. With exceptional walkability and convenient public transit, daily life here is effortless-yet a coveted off-alley parking space ensures flexibility. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully preserved and creatively composed historic residence where original detail and modern design live in beautiful harmony.
