2229 Dearing Ct, Louisville, KY 40204 | MLS# 1727203

Set on a quiet dead-end street in the heart of Cherokee Triangle, 2229 Dearing Court is the kind of home that makes you slow down. A charming front porch — complete with a swing — welcomes you in, hinting at the character that is found throughout. This home is a gem on its own, but it also comes with something rarely found at this price point in Cherokee Triangle: a private carriage house apartment with its own parking spot. Step through the entry and inlaid oak hardwood floors lead you through a first floor made for gathering: a living room, dining room, and great room flow together seamlessly, with the kitchen anchoring it all at the center. A convenient half bath rounds out the main level for guests. Double doors off the great room open to a covered deck, newly rebuilt with Trex decking, overlooking a backyard retreat with a koi pond, fountain, butterfly garden and a professionally framed tree house— a peaceful spot to spend an evening. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a primary suite with its own attached bath, plus two additional bedrooms (one with a space-saving Murphy bed) and a full hall bath, all with beautiful wood floors. A third-level unfinished attic offers bonus potential for a playroom or office, and the unfinished basement, like the attic, is spray-foam insulated for efficiency. Above the garage, the 501-square-foot carriage house apartment offers a one-bedroom, one-bath layout with its own kitchen, living room, and deck — with an additional parking space. This space was previously rented, it’s a nice option for extra income if a buyer wants it (current estimated fair market rent around $1,100/month), or simply extra space for guests or family. A rare find on a peaceful dead-end street, in one of Louisville’s most walkable, tree-lined neighborhoods.
