Welcome to 1603 Bonnycastle Ave, Louisville, KY 40205 in the Highlands. This 3-Car Garage is Steps from Cherokee Park in Bonnycastle. On a tree-lined stretch of Bonnycastle Ave, in the heart of the historic Bonnycastle Neighborhood, this 1935 brick two-story sits on a 0.12-acre lot with something few Highlands addresses can offer: a detached 3-car garage with real room to grow. Inside, a formal living room opens around the home's original fireplace, a striking architectural focal point that is currently decorative and not in working order. The formal dining room connects to an eat-in kitchen with a butler's pantry, a layout built for the way homes from this era were meant to entertain. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level. Upstairs holds 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath, each bedroom bright with second-floor natural light. Downstairs, an 850 square foot unfinished basement adds storage, workshop space, or a future finished square footage project. Out back, a deck steps down to a large cement patio and fenced yard. Then there is the garage. At 750 square feet and built for 3 cars, it is sized for far more than parking. Home office. Art studio. Guest retreat. It is the kind of flex space Highlands buyers keep asking for and rarely find. The garage door will be getting a fresh coat of paint. Bonnycastle Avenue runs between Bardstown Road and Cherokee Road, putting Cherokee Park's trails and the restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques of Bardstown Road within easy reach.
