3 Completely Renovated Homes Are Available in the Tenth Street Historic District
Share News:
I last caught up with James McGee, president and CEO of Southern Dallas Progress Development Corporation, in February, when his first renovation project in the Tenth Street Historic District hit the market. McGee has been a visionary for the Oak Cliff neighborhood, and he’s been busy.
McGee has long been an advocate for investment south of I-30 and particularly in Tenth Street, which was named a City of Dallas Historic District in 1993 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. It is one of the last intact Freedman’s Towns in the country. McGee not only talks the talk, but he also walks the walk, renovating and restoring the properties here.
It was not long ago that the neighborhood’s main attraction was the Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center, home to six Dallas ISD magnet high schools. Its School for the Talented and Gifted ranked ninth nationally and first in Texas by U.S. News and World Report’s latest high school rankings.
As investments continue to move south, the Tenth Street Historic District is now only a two-minute drive to the new Halperin Park and the historic industrial complex of East Dock, a vibrant community hub of restaurants and shops. You can also reach the Dallas Zoo, the lively Bishop Arts scene, and downtown in under seven minutes. McGee and his team are recreating a neighborhood central to all the exciting things Dallas has to offer.
Right now, McGee has three homes available, all beautifully reimagined and modernized while honoring the legacy of the historic neighborhood.
1023 Church St.
At 1,903 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this home is a complete rebuild with soaring tray ceilings and an enormous open concept living area featuring a sleek electric fireplace. A massive granite- topped island is the centerpiece of social activity in the custom kitchen. The primary suite features his-and-hers walk-in closets and a luxurious bathroom with a huge walk-in shower and vessel tub.
There is a generously sized backyard awaiting your customization. Priced at $329,999 the cottage at 1023 N. Church St. comes with up to $15,000 in homebuyer assistance.
108 N. Cliff St.
This adorable blue cottage with a Craftsman-style door and a welcoming front porch underwent a full, down-to-the-studs renovation. Featuring an open-plan design, the 1,305 square foot home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Like all of McGee’s homes, the kitchen features custom cabinetry, hand-selected granite countertops, classic white subway tile, and a stainless steel appliance package.
Listed for $259,000, this home at 108 N. Cliff St. has a 10-year tax abatement. That means 100% of the City of Dallas property taxes on the structure and land value are exempt for ten years, one of the many perks of living in a transformed cottage in the Tenth Street Historic District.
110 N. Cliff St.
This 1,305-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage was taken to the studs, combining historic charm with contemporary luxury. The interior was designed with the popular open-concept layout, which opens to the modern kitchen featuring premium countertops, classic subway tile, and stainless steel appliances.
The principal suite features a spa-inspired bathroom with elegant tile and high-end fixtures. You can enjoy a 10-year tax abatement on this $259,000 Tenth Street Historic District cottage at 110 N. Cliff St.
Texas Signature Realty’s Tara Miller will have all of these beauties open for you to see in person this weekend.
Open House: Saturday, August 1 from 10 a.m to 12 p.m.
