We all know if you want it to rain - wash your car. The lesser-known corollary? If you want to land your dream job in another city - add a second floor to your home. Fresh off a year-long addition led by the Bella Vista renovation gurus, this beloved home is ready for its next chapter. Now with 5 bedrooms, 3 living areas, 3.5 baths, multiple stairwells, a seamless blend of original 1930s storybook charm, and thoughtful updates. Reimagined with the detail and budget meant for a forever home, this is a fabulous opportunity for someone who appreciates traditional style in the special neighborhood of Cochran Heights, sprinkled with the famed architecture of Charles Dilbeck and Luther Sadler. With an oversized two-car garage (586 SF) and a front driveway, you’ll enjoy three off-street parking spaces, as well as RPO permit parking for your guests after 9 pm. Love to entertain? You’re covered. Check out the new wet bar (wine fridge + kegerator), alongside a chef's kitchen equipped with a gas stove, double oven, and 2 sinks - ample room for 2 chefs! Don't miss the home brewery closet (designed with options - it could be a dog wash or storage space). No, it's not in the photos - you'll have to come see for yourself ;) The 2025 addition brought two new bedrooms, a full bathroom, a den with built-ins, a formal dining room, dedicated laundry, stairwell, HVAC, gutters, turfed side yard, new roof, and—yes—a bookcase-turned-secret passage, because homes should still have a little magic. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Enjoy a 5 min walk to Cochran Park, Solar Prep schools, and the best shopping and dining in Knox-Henderson. Old Monk, Prince Street Pizza, LDU Coffee...the list is long! This community genuinely cares for its neighbors and has a great time, together. From Friday night porch parties to the annual wine walk—always a riot! Selected photos have been virtually styled for maximum inspo vibes. No paint colors or structural elements have been altered.
