Welcome to 5040 Milam Street, a stunning representation of timeless architecture designed by the renowned Charles Dilbeck, this home embodies the perfect blend of classic charm and modern convenience. Located in coveted Cochran Heights, one of only a few neighborhoods with walkability to prime retail, dining, coffee shops, Katy Trail and minutes to downtown Dallas.

Thoughtfully renovated and preserved over the years, including major mechanical items in the HVAC, gas line, roof, PEX plumbing, and tankless water. This two-story cottage was built as a showcase home for Charles Dilbeck as it sits atop one of the largest lots (185' depth) in the quaint neighborhood. Known for his eclecticism, this warm and inviting home displays gorgeous characteristics such as the original wood beam ceiling, detailed built-in’s, a Dutch entry door, signature oversized brick fireplace with detailed woodwork surround, paneled ceiling, exposed wood rafters and decorative brick detail.

The fabulous lot (185’ deep) offers an urban oasis with multiple sitting areas for play and entertainment, yet still has plenty of space for a pool addition or home expansion.
