| Fresh off a year-long addition-renovation, this beloved home is ready for its next chapter now that the owners found a dream job elsewhere. 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.' Please note that this family loves color and chose accordingly in their renovation last year. We have a bid to take the entire home to a neutral tone of Buyer's choosing (Sherwin Williams Alabaster is a beauty) by an exceptional contractor, whether pre or post-closing. Certain photos are shown in the neutral tone, followed by existing paint color to help buyers envision their own taste on this stunning historical home. 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. 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. | |
