About This Home

If you want it to rain, wash your car. If you want your dream job in another city, add a second story to your home! Fresh off a year-long addition-renovation, this beloved home is ready for its next chapter. Owned by only 2 families since 1935, she now has ample room (nearly 4K SF!), but still maintains that 1930s storybook charm. As Dr. Who would say, 'It's bigger on the inside.' The 2025 addition brought two new upstairs bedrooms, a full bathroom, an upstairs den with incredible skylight (the 'Nest'), formal dining room (the ceiling woodwork!), laundry room, new stairwell, HVAC, gutters, turfed side yard, NEW ROOF, and—yes—a bookcase-turned-secret passage, because homes should still have a little magic. Reimagined with the detail and budget meant for a forever home, this is a fabulous opportunity for someone who appreciates a more traditional style in the special neighborhood of Cochran Heights, sprinkled with the famed architecture of Charles Dilbeck. ***This family loves color. You might prefer a soft neutral color throughout the home. For inspiration, selected photos have been shown twice, once as-is, and once AI 'painted' with a soft white for inspiration on how you could style this home just for your taste, as noted in the photograph captions. If you'd like the full set of soft wall color AI reimagined photos, please reach out to listing agent! Entertaining is so fun here - the new wet bar (wine fridge + kegerator), alongside a huge kitchen equipped with a gas stove, double oven, and 2 sinks. Don't miss the home brewery (designed with options - it could be a dog wash or storage space). Parking is ample with an oversized two-car rear garage (583 SF) and a front driveway. 5 off-street spaces total! THIS LOCATION IS EVERYTHING! Enjoy a 5 min walk to Cochran Park, Solar Prep schools, and the best shopping and dining in Knox-Henderson. Incredible community. On a psf basis, this is an incredible value in a coveted neighborhood.
