5123 Milam Street

Fresh off a year-long addition led by the Bella Vista renovation gurus, this beloved home is ready for its next chapter due to Seller's unexpected dream job in another city. Having only been owned by 2 families since 1935, she now has 5 bedrooms, 3 living areas, 3.5 baths, 3 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. Parking is ample with an oversized two-car garage (583 SF) and a front driveway, as well as RPO permit parking for your street parking 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 (omg - the ceiling woodwork), dedicated huge laundry room, hardwood 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!
